About this map

Lower Marlboro and the surrounding riverfront of the Patuxent River define this region along the boundary of Prince George's and Calvert Counties. This survey illustrates a landscape where colonial-era landings and mid-century suburban developments like Lakewood Estates coexist. The area is marked by numerous tidal creeks, including Mataponi Creek and Cocktown Creek, which carve into the terrace terrain.

Local heritage is anchored by sites like the Shiloh Methodist Episcopal Church and several small burial grounds such as Smiths Purchase Cem and South Cem. These landmarks, alongside the small airstrip at Garner Field, reflect the mix of rural tradition and modern infrastructure near Dunkirk. The map traces the historical significance of river access points, from Jones Point to the curiously named Sneaking Point, which have served as local maritime navigation marks for generations.
