2011 Map of Saint George Island

About this map

Saint George Island sits at the confluence of the Potomac River and the Saint Marys River, defining a landscape where the Chesapeake's maritime heritage is deeply etched into the shoreline. This 2011 survey details a narrow, bridge-linked community anchored by Saint George Island Beach and the recreational grounds of Camp Merryelande. Across the water on the mainland, the map tracks the development of Wynne and surrounding points like Tick Neck and Bards Field, illustrating the area's transition into a modern coastal residential and aviation hub centered around the Chandler Airport. The presence of Miller Wharf, Benville Wharf, and Beans Landing speaks to a long-standing reliance on the surrounding creeks and harbors for commerce and transit. From the southern tip at Travis Point to the sheltered waters of Fox Harbor, the map provides a look at a tidal landscape shaped by the interplay of small settlements and the expansive reach of the Potomac.
