2016 Map of Cove Point

About this map

Cove Point Beach and the dramatic shoreline of Calvert Cliffs define this stretch of the western Chesapeake Bay, where the peninsula narrows between the bay and the deep tidal reaches of Saint Leonard Cr. This landscape is characterized by a high concentration of small coves and branches, such as Hellen Cr and Saint Paul Br, which dictated the early settlement patterns and road networks. The interior reveals established communities like Lusby and St. Leonard connected by Solomons Island Rd S, while more secluded spots like Bertha and Sollers sit tucked away near the water. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of significant burial grounds including Middleham Cem and Saint Pauls Cem, alongside maritime and aviation features like Mears Creek Airfield and the Cove Point Marsh.
