About this map

St. George Island and the surrounding necks of St. Mary's County define this maritime landscape along the lower Potomac River. The map details a complex shoreline of inlets and points, where the land is deeply indented by tidal waters such as Smith Creek and Jutland Creek. Settlements like Wynne and Beans Landing are reached by narrow roads winding through the coastal necks, reflecting a community orientation toward the bay and river.

A notable inclusion is Bonham Airport, positioned near the residential development of Kitty Acres on Tick Neck. The transition across the water to Virginia is marked by the state boundary line running through the river, while to the south, Cherry Point Neck and Travis Point represent the northern reaches of Northumberland County. From the sandy stretch of Saint George Island Beach to the sheltered waters of Calvert Bay, the map documents a region where geography and daily life are inextricably linked to the Chesapeake estuary system.
