1968 Map of Colonial Beach North

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Potomac River defines the landscape of this late 1960s coastal survey, where the Maryland and Virginia border splits the wide waterway. On the northern shore in Charles County, Maryland, the terrain of Cobb Neck and Swan Point Neck is characterized by deep tidal inlets like Piccowaxen Creek and Cuckold Creek. This era shows a mix of rural Maryland life and industrial development, from the quiet presence of Old Christ Ch and the settlements of Mount Victoria and Wayside to the prominent Powerplant near the Harry W Nice Memorial Bridge. Across the water, the town of Colonial Beach serves as a Virginia riverside focal point, situated between Monroe Bay and the river's edge. Genealogists can trace family locations through numerous named burials, including Shiloh Cemetery and Good Hope Cemetery, and established landmarks like Lone Holly and Bachelors Hope Pt.
