1953 Map of Mechanicsville

About this map

Mechanicsville serves as the inland anchor for this landscape where the agricultural interior meets the tidal reaches of the Patuxent River. The area is defined by a series of small, named settlements and family-named points like Sothoron Long Pt and Billiard Pt that reach into the river. A network of rural schools including St Joseph Sch and Brent High Sch highlights the community structure of the mid-20th century.
