About this map

All Saints Episcopal Church and its nearby Cem stand near the intersection of Solomons Island Rd and Southern Maryland Blvd, anchoring the rural landscape of northern Calvert County. The Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay is defined here by a series of dramatic elevations, including Fairhaven Cliffs, Calvert Cliffs, and Roosevelt Cliffs, which overlook the water from Rose Haven down to Willows. This coastal orientation is reflected in the clustered developments of North Beach and West Beach, where a dense street grid meets the shoreline at Hog Point.

Away from the bay, the interior transitions into a network of creek drainages such as Fishing Creek and Hall Creek. Settlements like Friendship, Owings, and Sunderland are connected by historical corridors like Old Solomons Island Rd, tracing the high ground between tidal marshes. The terrain is marked by distinctive drainages including Fowlers Mill-Branch and Red Lyon Creek, which flow through the wooded ravines that characterize this portion of the Maryland peninsula.
