About this map

Cove Point and its adjacent shoreline define this coastal stretch of Calvert County along the Chesapeake Bay. The 2014 landscape shows a mix of established residential communities like Lusby, Calvert Beach, and the sprawling Chesapeake Ranch Estates, set against the dramatic natural relief of Calvert Cliffs and Nutts Cliffs. This era captures the developed road network following the ridge lines, primarily MD-2 and MD-765, which connect the inland settlements to the waterfront.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant community anchors, including Middleham Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem. The maritime character of the region is evident in the numerous coves branching off Saint Leonard Creek, such as Rollins Cove and Osborn Cove, while the eastern shore is marked by distinct coastal features like Rocky Point and the Intracoastal Waterway.
