About this map

The U S Naval Propellant Plant dominates this stretch of the Potomac River, highlighting the mid-century industrial and military footprint on the Charles County shoreline. Surrounding this facility are the residential developments of Riverview Village, Potomac Heights, and Warington Hills, which supported the base's workforce. To the south, the landscape transitions into a more rural and historic character, featuring scattered settlements like Chicamuxen and Doncaster. This area is defined by its numerous necks and points, including Cornwallis Neck and Stump Neck, where the water-dependent history of the region is evident in landmarks like Grinders Wharf and Poseys Wharf.
