About this map

Nanjemoy Creek and the Potomac River define the character of this Southern Maryland landscape, where historical rural hamlets are connected by a network of winding local roads. The settlement of Nanjemoy serves as a central point, situated near Washington Field and the waters of Beaverdam Creek. To the south, Maryland Point and Riverside sit along the riverbanks, marking the southern reaches of Charles County.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Saint Ignatius of Loyola Cemetery near Hill Top and the Durham Cemetery. The map reflects a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by legacy property names like Burgess Field and Tayloe Neck. Further north, the junction at Ironsides and the elevation at Stretchmark Hill provide topographical context to this coastal plain, while the Holly Springs Farm Airport indicates modern land use alongside traditional sites like Emory Chapel Cemetery in Grayton.
