Thomas Stone National Historic Site anchors the southern portion of this region, preserving the landscape associated with one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The area is defined by a series of small, dispersed settlements such as Bennsville, Ripley, and Pomfret, reflecting the enduring rural character of Charles County even into the modern era. Waterways like Mattawoman Cr and Old Womans Run carve through the wooded terrain, dictating the placement of historic routes and long-standing community centers.
