About this map

Passapatanzy and White Oak anchor the landscape of this peninsula where the Potomac River and Potomac Creek converge. The topography is defined by significant wetlands like the Black Swamp and intricate coastal features including Boykins Island, Old Landing Point, and Whipsawasons Point. This region reflects a long history of local settlement, evidenced by a high density of rural cemeteries such as Bethel Baptist Church Cem and Bethlehem Cem.

Modern recreation and preservation efforts are visible through the path of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail and the Entrance Trail winding through the wooded terrain. Historically significant locations like Marlborough Neck and Crows Nest Point overlook the water, marking points where Maryland and Virginia state lines meet in the river. Small hubs like Sealston and Goby are connected by a network of local roads such as Caledon Rd, reflecting the community's evolution from its maritime and agricultural roots.
