About this map

Leonardtown serves as the focal point of this coastal Maryland landscape, situated where McIntosh Run and Town Run meet the tidal waters of Breton Bay. The area is defined by a series of prominent necks and points, including Newtown Neck and Cedar Point, which reach into the expansive Saint Clements Bay. This 2019 survey documents a landscape deeply rooted in its ecclesiastical and maritime heritage, featuring numerous historic burial grounds such as Old Saint Joseph's Cem and the Saint Francis Xavier Parish Cem.

Inland, the terrain transitions from the marshy reaches of Church Swamp to the small aviation strips at Clements Airport and Recompense Farm Airport. The Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail winds through the northern reaches of the quadrangle, passing near settlements like Morganza, Loveville, and Clements. This modern data provides a clear view of the established residential communities at Saint Clement Shores and Society Hill, illustrating the enduring relationship between the community and the intricate Chesapeake Bay tributaries.
