About this map

St Jerome Neck and the surrounding lowlands of St. Mary's County are meticulously documented in this 1943 survey, conducted by the War Department and Corps of Engineers. The map details a landscape where the Chesapeake Bay deeply carves into the shoreline, creating complex waterways like St Jerome Creek and Malone Bay. This era of documentation shows the rural character of southern Maryland during the war, focusing on the infrastructure of the St Inigoes district and the primary transit artery of Three Notch Road. The importance of maritime navigation is evident with the offshore Point No Point Lighthouse, while inland features such as Blue Gull Mill and the settlement at Dameron reveal the local economy of the time. These coastal wetlands, punctuated by Biscue Pond and Filbert Pond, reflect a region defined by its close relationship with the bay.
