About this map

The Wicomico River and the Potomac River converge in this coastal Maryland survey, defining a landscape shaped by tidal inlets and deep-rooted colonial-era settlements. Near the head of Chaptico Bay, the community of Chaptico remains a focal point with its Chaptico Post Office and the historic grounds of Christ Church Cemetery. Further south, the peninsula transitions into recreation and maritime life, from the summer retreats at Longview Beach to the aviation strips of Nyce Airport and Squier Landing Airport.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous named estates and manors such as Bachelors Hope, Our Ladys Manor, and Bushwood. The shoreline is heavily marked by local landmarks like Bushwood Wharf and Rock Point Post Office, which once served as vital river transport hubs. The developed waterfront of Cobb Island at the southern tip, accessible via Neale Sounds Dr, illustrates the modern expansion of these historic riverside outposts.
