1937 Map of Point Lookout

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

St Marys River and the sweeping reaches of the Chesapeake Bay define this coastal landscape at the southernmost tip of Maryland's western shore. The map records a maritime economy in transition, where numerous piers and landings such as Broomes Wharf, Grason Wharf, and Benville Wharf served as vital links for small communities like Wynne and St Inigoes. The peninsula narrows significantly toward the south, terminating at the prominent lighthouse site of Point Lookout, which guards the entrance to the Potomac River.
