About this map

Leonardtown and the surrounding riverine landscape of St. Mary's County are documented here during the mid-1930s, revealing a society deeply tied to the tidewater. The Patuxent River and Saint Clement Bay dominate the geography, lined with historical landings and wharves such as Williams Wharf and Jones Wharf that served as vital conduits for commerce before modern highway dominance. Inland, the importance of faith and education in rural Maryland is evident through the dense placement of sites like Old All Faith Ch, Our Ladys Chapel, and numerous local schoolhouses including Gravelly Knoll Sch and Bayside Sch.
