1943 Map of Cove Point

About this map

Chesapeake Bay shorelines and the tidal estuaries of Calvert County dominate this 1943 survey, updated with 1974 revisions. The landscape is defined by the intricate finger-like projections of St Leonard Creek and Hellen Creek as they drain toward the Patuxent River to the west. On the eastern side, the prominent sandy hook of Cove Point features its namesake Lighthouse and the Cove Point Marsh, a rare coastal wetland system punctuated by Wilbur Pond.
