1983 Map of Leonardtown

About this map

St Marys City (Historic) and the deep tidewater estuaries of Southern Maryland anchor this detailed survey of the lower Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. The map captures a landscape defined by its peninsulas, from the riverfront at Colonial Beach across to the dense wetlands of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on the Eastern Shore. The settlement pattern reflects centuries of maritime dependency, with long-standing communities like Leonardtown and Charlotte Hall serving as inland hubs while significant military and industrial footprints appear at the Patuxent River Naval Air Test Center and the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.
