About this map

Cove Point L H and the adjacent Cove Point Beach define the southeastern tip of this 1943 War Department survey, showing the Calvert County peninsula during a period of significant military presence. This wartime era is reflected in the establishment of Camp Conoy and a large U S Army Camp near the point. Inland, the rural character of the region is preserved through historic social centers like Middleham Chapel, St Johns Church, and St Pauls Church. The intricate shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and St Leonard Creek reveals a landscape tied to the water, where small settlements like Lusby, Bertha, and Sollers are connected by Cove Point Road and Wharf Road. Navigable waters are dotted with family-named landmarks such as Rollins Cove and Mears Creek, while industrial vestiges like Planters Whf hint at the coastal trade that sustained these communities before modernization.
