1954 Map of Nanjemoy

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Doncaster State Forest dominates the northwest corner of this Potomac River landscape, characterizing a rural Maryland peninsula defined by tidal creeks and scattered hamlets. In the mid-1950s, the community of Nanjemoy served as a central hub, supported by the Nanjemoy Sch and the winding course of Nanjemoy Creek. The map records a dense network of country churches including St Ignatius Ch and Durham Ch near Ironsides, and Oak Grove Ch further south near Riverside.

The shoreline along the Potomac River reveals a complex marshy geography at Maryland Point and Thorne Gut, while the interior remains focused on small-scale settlements like Grayton and Doncaster. From the Park Landing Strip to the deep waters of Barn Cove, this survey captures a period of quiet coastal life before late-century developments, preserving the locations of local landmarks like Emory Chapel and Mt Hope Sch.
