1898 Map of Nomini
USGS Topo · Published 1907About this map
The Wicomico River and Potomac River dominate this coastal landscape, illustrating the critical role of water transport in Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia before the rise of modern highways. This survey highlights a network of commercial landings and wharves, such as Reeder Wharf on the Patuxent River and Nomini Landing on Nomini Bay, which served as the primary hubs for agricultural trade. Inland, the Washington and Potomac R. R. and the Pope Creek Branch P. B. & W. R. R. signal the shift toward rail-dependent logistics in towns like Mechanicsville and Charlotte Hall. The map reveals a densely named shorefront where features like Ludlow Ferry and Nomini Ferry provided essential cross-river connections. This detail is particularly valuable for tracing local genealogy, as it preserves the exact locations of family-named landings and small settlements such as Newburg, Morganza, and the county seat at Leonardtown.
