About this map

St. George Island sits at the heart of this coastal geography, connected to the mainland by Piney Point Rd and defined by its exposed shoreline at Saint George Island Beach. The landscape is a complex network of narrow peninsulas and necks, including Saint Inigoes Neck and Jutland Neck, where the tide-driven waters of the Potomac River meet the Chesapeake's reach.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around sheltered coves and inlets, with Wynne serving as a focal point near Smith Point and Jutland Creek. Further south, across the jurisdictional boundary of St. Mary's and Northumberland counties, the village of Lewisetta marks the Virginia shore. This survey documents a fragile maritime environment of named bars and points, such as James Creek Bar and Indigo Point, and identifies local landmarks like Chandler Field that serve these remote waterfront communities.
