About this map

Monroe Bay and the jagged southern shoreline of Potomac River define this corner of Westmoreland County, where numerous points and landings suggest a landscape deeply tied to the water. The northern reaches show a cluster of development around Monroe Hall and Springfield, while the interior transitions into a complex network of wetlands including The Big Swamp, Bundy Swamp, and Fox Hall Swamp.

Cultural landmarks and small settlements like Potomac Mills and Oak Grove are linked by rural routes such as Wakefield Dr. The presence of the Washington Cemetery and Little Zion Cemetery provides specific points of interest for genealogical research. Numerous geographic features such as Winkedoodle Point and Sebastian Point emphasize the irregular, creek-carved coastline that has shaped the region's historical access to trade and transport.
