1943 Map of Cove Point
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Cove Point lighthouse and its surrounding marshlands anchor this mid-century survey of the Calvert County coastline. In the 1940s, this portion of Maryland’s western shore shows a landscape defined by deeply incised tidal creeks like St Leonard Creek and Mill Creek, which reach inland toward agricultural uplands. The era’s rural character is preserved in the locations of Middleham Chapel, St Johns Ch, and St Pauls Ch, while the growing recreational use of the Chesapeake Bay is evident at Calvert Beach and Long Beach. The map details a complex network of coastal features, from the Flag Ponds to the military presence at Camp Conoy, illustrating how topography shaped settlement patterns before modern expansion. This document captures the transition of a maritime and farming community as it developed along the banks of the Patuxent River and the bay.
