2014 Map of Indian Head

About this map

Indian Head occupies a prominent peninsula on the Potomac River, where the landscape is defined by the deep indentations of Mattawoman Creek and Chicamuxen Creek. This 2014 survey documents the dense residential corridors of Potomac Heights, Warington Hills, and Potomac Wood, which contrast with the more dispersed rural settlements of Pisgah and Doncaster to the south. The proximity to Virginia is marked by the water boundaries of Occquan Bay, while the Maryland interior remains punctuated by numerous local burial grounds including Indian Hill Cem, Marbury Cem, and Alexandria Cem. Along the riverbanks, distinct landforms like Stump Neck, Cornwallis Neck, and Sweden Point provide clear reference points for the transition from maritime navigation to the wooded uplands. The road network, anchored by Indian Head Hwy and Chicamuxen Rd, reveals the continued importance of these historical thoroughfares in connecting the riverside communities.
