2019 Map of Nanjemoy

About this map

Potomac River frontage and the low-lying wetlands of Thorne Gut Marsh characterize this corner of Charles County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Beaverdam Cr and Hancock Run, which flow through a network of small settlements like Nanjemoy and Grayton. This modern survey illustrates the enduring rural nature of the region, where legacy churchyards such as Christ Church Durham Parish Cem and Saint Ignatius of Loyola Cem sit among a patchwork of family farms and coastal necks. Along the southern edge, Riverside marks the interface with the tidal Potomac, connected to the interior via Port Tobacco Rd. The inclusion of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail highlights the integration of historical corridors into contemporary recreational use, while features like the Holly Springs Farm Airport and Trappe Bridge point to more recent infrastructure development in this Maryland tidewater community.
