1894 Map of Point Lookout

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

St. Marys county forms the lower southern tip of Maryland on this late 19th-century survey, where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The maritime economy of the 1890s is clearly visible through the numerous landings and points of trade, including Bacon Wharf, Jones Wharf, and Benville Wharf. The peninsula tapers to the distinctive hook of Point Lookout, protecting Cornfield Harbor.
