1905 Map of Owensville

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Davidsonville and the tobacco-growing interior of Anne Arundel County are defined by their proximity to the deep tidal estuaries of the South River and West River in the early twentieth century. This survey reveals a landscape of dispersed agricultural settlements like Rutland, Birdsville, and McKendree connected by a network of landings and wharves. The economy of the era is evident along the shoreline at Hartges Wharf, Lees Wharf, and Steiners Wharf, where local produce met the waterborne trade of the Chesapeake Bay.
