1943 Map of Point No Point

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

St Jerome Neck defines this coastal landscape on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, where tidal inlets and small ponds create a complex shoreline. Mapped from aerial photography taken in 1942, the topography reveals a rural Maryland peninsula characterized by the deep indentation of St Jerome Creek and the quiet settlement at Dameron. The survey captures the area just before mid-century development, showing the proximity of maritime life to the inland woods and fields. Small water bodies like Biscue Pond, Carroll Pond, and Filbert Pond are scattered across the neck, emphasizing the saturated nature of the local terrain. Off the coast, a lonely Lighthouse stands watch near Point No Point, marking a critical navigation spot for bay traffic during the war years.
