About this map

Piney Point Lighthouse stands as a sentinel at the southern tip of this peninsula, where the Potomac River meets the smaller inlets of Saint Marys County. The landscape is defined by its deep maritime heritage, visible in the cluster of waterfront settlements like Tall Timbers, McKay Beach, and Piney Point. Inland, the area maintains a rural character with large tracts such as Mulberry Fields and Jubilee Farm interspersed among winding creeks like Poplar Hill Creek and Johns Creek.

Transport and community hubs are anchored by local infrastructure, including the Piney Point Airport and several historic post offices at Valley Lee and Callaway. The map also preserves the locations of local landmarks with distinctive names such as Nuthalls Folly and Dukes Retreat. Genealogists may find value in the clear marking of Saint Georges Cemetery and Holy Face Cemetery, which serve the long-established parishes of this tidewater region.
