About this map

Potomac River shorelines define the northern edge of this coastal Virginia landscape, where the boundary between Maryland and Virginia follows the winding river channel. This survey documents the transition from waterfront recreational areas like Fairview Beach and Wellington Beach to the interior agricultural and institutional hub of King George. The map includes significant military and scientific infrastructure, notably the Naval Research Lab Maryland Point Antenna Range situated near Maryland Point.

Evidence of the local economy and social fabric is found in the scattered rural settlements of Comorn, Edgehill, and Arnolds Corner. Education and religion are represented by landmarks such as the King George High Sch, Bunche High Sch, and Antioch Ch. Topographic details reveal the complex drainage of the inner coastal plain, where Upper Machodoc Creek and Chotank Creek cut through the terrain toward the Potomac, while an Abandoned Mill on Pepper Mill Creek points to earlier industrial water use in the region.
