About this map

Indian Head occupies a prominent peninsula along the Potomac River, defined by the deep inlets of Mattawoman Creek and Chicamuxen Creek. This coastal landscape in Charles County features a distinct concentration of small rural communities and family-named terrain, including Cornwallis Neck and Bullitt Neck. The 2019 survey documents a network of inland settlements such as Marbury, Pisgah, and Chicamuxen, each anchored by historical institutions like the Pisgah United Methodist Church Cem and Marbury Baptist Church Cem.

A notable characteristic of this area is the distribution of local burial grounds and small aviation facilities like Finagin Airfield and Budds Ferry Airport, reflecting a mix of legacy agricultural holdings and modern transit. The numerous points and necks, such as Stump Neck and Linton Point, illustrate the intricate shoreline that has long shaped navigation and settlement patterns on the Maryland side of the Potomac across from Mason Neck in Virginia.
