About this map

The Wicomico River carves a deep boundary between Charles and St. Mary’s Counties in this coastal survey, where the peninsula's geography is defined by a dense network of points and bars. Landings and small settlements like Indiantown, Chaptico, and Bushwood are scattered across the neck, connected by winding rural roads that lead to the water's edge. At the southern tip, Cobb Island sits separated from the mainland by Neale Sound, its residential grid established near Cobb Point and Shipping Point.

Along the eastern shore of the river, Longview Beach and Rock Point serve as key waterfront markers, while inland locations such as Milestown and Maddox center around early crossroads. Significant historical landmarks including Christ Church Cem near Chaptico and the marshy Church Swamp reflect the long-standing community footprint in this tidewater region. The map details a landscape where life is closely tied to the shifting sands of features like Lancaster Bar and White Point Island.
