1943 Map of Point Lookout

About this map

Point Lookout Lighthouse stands at the southernmost tip of the St. Mary’s peninsula, guarding the confluence of the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. During this wartime era, the peninsula’s strategic location is evident through the presence of the Point Lookout U S Coast Guard Reservation and military installations like Camp Ernest W Brown. The map reveals a landscape defined by deeply indented tidal prongs and creeks, such as St Jerome Creek and Lookout Creek, which create isolated necks of land like Fresh Pond Neck and Long Neck.
