About this map

The Patuxent River serves as the central artery for this mid-century landscape, dividing Prince Georges Co and Calvert Co. During this era, the river's edge was still defined by historic water-access points like Lyons Creek Wharf, White Landing, and Milltown Landing, reflecting a long-standing Chesapeake maritime economy that relied on these small hubs for transport and trade. Inland, the terrain is deeply dissected by numerous drainage systems, including Friday Creek and Hall Creek, which create a complex network of ridges where many of the area's earliest roads and settlements are concentrated.
