1943 Map of Piney Point

About this map

The Potomac River shorelines of St. Mary's County are documented here during the mobilization of the early 1940s. While established communities like Valley Lee, Chingville, and Tall Timbers anchor the inland landscape, the coastal edge reflects a strategic maritime and aviation presence. Along the river, the Piney Point Lighthouse and Ragged Point Lighthouse guide vessels toward the St Marys River, while the inclusion of an Emergency Landing Field near Piney Point signals the era's military requirements.
