1948 Map of Nanjemoy

About this map

The Potomac River dominates this mid-century portrait of the borderlands between Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia. On the Maryland shore, the landscape is defined by the deep indentations of Nanjemoy Creek and the Avon River, while inland settlements like Ironsides, Hill Top, and Nanjemoy are linked by rural routes passing Doncaster State Forest. Significant institutional presence is noted at the Naval Proving Ground near Dahlgren, reflecting the era's military infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous community anchors across both banks, including St Ignatius Ch, Durham Ch, and Emory Ch. The map identifies rural postal hubs such as Grayton PO and Hooes PO, alongside local education sites like Mt Hope Sch and Winslow Sch. Maritime navigation is well-documented through the Maryland Point Light and Mathias Pt Light, marking critical points in the river's wide reaches.
