1905 Map of Drum Point

Lighthouses are critical landmarks for the heavy vessel traffic of the era, with structures noted at Cove Pt., Drum Pt., and Cedar Pt. providing guidance through the bay's points. Inland, small settlements like St. Leonard, Lusby, and Jarboesville are connected by early road networks, while the eastern shore is dominated by the marshy necks of Robinson Neck and Meekins Neck. The presence of numerous landings, such as Millstone Landing, underscores the region's historical reliance on the waterfront for moving goods and people.
