2019 Map of Cove Point

About this map

Cove Point and the dramatic shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay define this coastal portion of Calvert County. The landscape is characterized by a series of deeply inset coves and creeks, most notably Saint Leonard Creek and Johns Creek, which create a complex network of peninsulas. Along these shores, established communities such as White Sands, Brooms Island, and Calvert Beach are visible. The map records several sites of local historical and genealogical significance, including the Middleham Cem and Saint Paul United Methodist Cem. Inland from the Calvert Cliffs, the terrain is marked by numerous small branches and ponds, such as Richardsons Pond and Todds Pond, showing the intricate drainage patterns that lead to the bay. Small-scale aviation history is noted at the Mears Creek Airfield, while the eastern boundary follows the Chesapeake Channel through the bay.
