About this map

The Thomas Stone Natl Historic Site stands as a central landmark in this 2023 survey of Charles County, marking the home of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The landscape around Port Tobacco Village and Port Tobacco Riviera illustrates the deep colonial roots of the region, where the tidal Port Tobacco Creek meets the Potomac shoreline. To the north, the transition from rural crossroads like Pomonkey and Pomfret to more developed residential areas around Bryans Road and La Plata is evident.

Local heritage is preserved through a network of country churches and burial grounds, including the Metropolitan United Methodist Church Cem and Saint Catherines of Alexandria Ch at McConchie. Small-scale industry and infrastructure are represented by Millards Mill and the Maryland Airport, while the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trl traces the southern corridor through this historic corner of Maryland.
