About this map

The Potomac River dominates this landscape, serving as the primary geographic artery between Maryland and Virginia at the end of the 19th century. This survey reveals a deeply articulated shoreline defined by hundreds of points, sounds, and tidal creeks, where the river economy is evidenced by a dense network of river landings and wharves such as Wilkerson Wharf and Plowdens Wharf. Inland, the convergence of the Pope Creek Br. Pennsylvania R.R. and the Washington and Potomac R.R. near Charlotte Hall and Mechanicsville highlights the transition from maritime transport to rail-based commerce.

Genealogists and historians will find significant detail in the placement of small landings and family-named landmarks like Stoddard Pt. and Guest Pt.. The mapping of the Nomini Ferry crossing and established crossroads like Dentsville Centerville and Faulkner Lothair provides a clear view of local connectivity in the Tidewater region before modern bridge infrastructure fundamentally altered the relationship between these riverine communities.
