1966 Map of Port Tobacco

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Port Tobacco River valley in Charles County preserves a landscape of deep historical significance, notably featuring the site of Habre de Venture and Rose Hill. This mid-century survey captures the region as the Government Railroad and its various sidings, such as Bennsville Siding and Pomfret Siding, serviced the rural interior. The map documents a transition from traditional agricultural land to modern utility, seen in the proximity of Maryland Airport to established religious sites like St Johns Chapel and Metropolitan Ch. Conservation efforts are anchored by the Myrtle Grove Wildlife Management Area, while the emerging educational landscape is marked by the Charles County Community College. Settlement patterns follow the old transit routes, including Stagecoach Road and Poorhouse Road, connecting small communities like Mason Springs and McConchie to the Potomac River at Chapman Landing.
