About this map

Saint Clements Island and the broad waters of the Potomac River dominate this coastal landscape, where the Maryland and Virginia shorelines face one another across a historic maritime expanse. On the northern Maryland side, the map details the peninsula of Newtown Neck separating St Clements Bay and Breton Bay, a region characterized by small landing points like Cornish Point and residential pockets at Breton Beach.

South across the river in Virginia, the settlement of Coles Point serves as a focal point near Machodoc Neck, anchored by the Coles Point Post Office. This area reveals a dense network of inlets and creeks, including Nomini Creek and Lower Machodoc Creek, which define the low-lying geography. The presence of small airfields like Nuns Oak Airport and Hampton Airport, alongside developments such as Glebe Harbor, reflects the mid-century evolution of these waterfront communities into recreational and residential hubs.
