2019 Map of Mathias Point

About this map

The Potomac River dominates this coastal landscape, where the Maryland and Virginia state lines meet at Mathias Point. Along the northern shore in Charles County, the Port Tobacco River carves a deep path inland, separating the residential developments of Potomac Shores and Sutton Acres from the agrarian and forested reaches of Brentland. This area is characterized by its numerous geographic points and necks, such as Cedar Point Neck and Tayloe Neck, which stretch into the waterway. Historical and community anchors are visible in the form of the Zion Baptist Church Cem near Hill Top and the Saint Ignatius Cem overlooking the river. The presence of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail and the Lanseair Farms Airport suggests a modern landscape that balances recreational access with rural transport infrastructure.
