About this map

The U. S. Naval Proving Ground dominates the peninsula between the Potomac River and Mattawoman Creek, serving as a critical military installation during the mid-1940s. The site is connected by the Govt RR, which links the naval facilities to the residential area of Potomac Heights. Further inland, the landscape shifts toward agricultural and forested land, with small settlements like Marbury, Rison, and Pisgah dotted along rural roads.
