2013 Map of Mathias Point

About this map

The Potomac River dominates this landscape where the Port Tobacco River meets the wider waterway between Maryland and Virginia. This 2013 survey illustrates a region characterized by small residential enclaves and significant government installations. The Blossom Point Proving Grounds and Harry Diamond Laboratories occupy the expansive Cedar Point Neck, a peninsula bounded by Gumtree Cove and the main river channel. These facilities stand in contrast to the nearby clusters of Welcome Acres, Melody Acres, and Sutton Acres. Nautical access is a defining feature of local life, evidenced by the Port Tobacco Marina and Goose Bay Marina. Across the water, Mathias Point Neck in Virginia marks a sharp bend in the Potomac, highlighting the area's role as a maritime corridor. Further inland, the map captures private aviation at Lanseair Farms Airport and historic landings like Simms Landing.
