About this map

The Chesapeake Bay dominates this mid-century survey, dividing the peninsula of Calvert County from the low-lying wetlands of Dorchester County. On the western shore, the deep waters of the Patuxent River meet the bay at Solomons, where Spencers Wharf and Millstone Landing indicate a busy maritime corridor. Small inland settlements like Lusby, Bertha, and Jarboesville are connected by early road networks, while the shoreline is dotted with critical navigation landmarks including the light at Cove Point.
