About this map

The Potomac River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the border between Charles County, Maryland, and Westmoreland County, Virginia. At the southern reach, the developed grid of Colonial Beach and Potomac Beach borders Monroe Bay, while the northern Maryland shore is defined by a series of prominent points and agricultural clusters. Morgantown sits just below the Harry W Nice Memorial Bridge, a vital crossing that connects the two states.

Further inland in Maryland, the map reveals a history of rural settlement around crossroads and creeks, including Shiloh and Mount Victoria. Significant genealogical landmarks include Old Christ Church Cem and Holy Ghost Cem, which anchor long-established communities. The landscape is deeply carved by waterways like Mill Run and Maddox Cr, while the small Pilots Cove Airport highlights the local infrastructure of the early 21st century.
