1953 Map of Popes Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Zekiah Swamp Run dominates the central topography of this 1953 Maryland study, creating a broad wetland corridor that separates the western highlands from the settlements of the east. The Pennsylvania railroad line runs parallel to the Potomac shoreline, serving critical transit points like Bel Alton (Cox Sta) and Faulkner (Lothair Sta). These dual-named stations reflect the evolution of local commerce where rail stops often carried different names than the established post offices.

To the south, the landscape opens into the Wicomico Neck and the tidal reaches of Allens Fresh Run. The map preserves the locations of early rural centers such as Newport, Dentsville, and Bowlings Alley, along with the St Marys Ch and Rogers Mill. From the landing at Popes Creek to the riverfront at Budds Landing, the transition from agricultural uplands to tidal marshes defines the character of southern Charles County during this era.
