About this map

The tapering peninsula of St Jerome Neck defines this coastal landscape on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The terrain is characterized by intricate inlets and small coastal bodies of water, including Biscoe Pond, Carroll Pond, and Filbert Pond. Inland, the settlement of Dameron sits near the head of St Jerome Creek, which snakes southward toward the bay.

Transport and land use are concentrated along rural routes such as Bay Forest Road and St Jerome Road, providing access to isolated landmarks like the Radio Tower and the sandy stretch of St Jerome Beach. The map also captures the geological and industrial traces of the area, noting a Sandpit and the distinctive landform of Point No Point. The transition from the bay's open waters to the sheltered reaches of Taylor Cove and Malone Bay illustrates the area's reliance on tidal hydrology.
