1913 Map of Nanjemoy
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Nanjemoy and the surrounding riverfront of Charles County were defined by an intricate network of landings and small rural institutions just before World War I. The Potomac River dominates the landscape, creating a jagged coastline of coves and points like Mallows Bay and Maryland Pt, where the Maryland Pt Light guided maritime traffic. Inland, the community structure is visible through a high concentration of local schools including Green Leek School and Holly Springs School, and historic parishes such as Durham Church and St Thomas Church near the Port Tobacco River. This survey reveals the reliance on water-based commerce before the modern highway era, with prominent infrastructure like Liverpool Wharf and Friendship Landing serving as critical connection points for tobacco and local goods.
