About this map

The Potomac River dominates this 2013 survey of the Virginia and Maryland borderlands, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by riverside communities and maritime infrastructure. To the south, the grid-laid streets of Colonial Beach and Classic Shore suggest a developed shoreline, while the crossing of the Harry W Nice Memorial Bridge links the two states. The map captures a mix of residential enclaves and leisure sites, from the established Swan Point Golf Course and Aqua-Land Marina to the more rural stretches around Shiloh and Mount Victoria.

Navigation and transport history is evident in labels such as Laidlow Ferry and Pilots Cove Airport, pointing to the area's continued reliance on water and air access. The intricate coastline is dotted with smaller settlements like Waverly Point and Tompkinsville, interspersed with numerous creeks and guts such as Trunk Gut and Ditchley Prong that reach inland from the Wicomico River and Potomac forks.
