About this map

Lexington Park and the sprawling military grounds of Patuxent River Naval Air Station/Trapnell Field dominate the southern portion of this peninsula, where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map captures a landscape defined by deep-water coves and necks of land, including Hoopers Neck and Point Patience. The narrow Thomas Johnson Bridge serves as the vital link between St. Mary's Co and Calvert Co, connecting the southern developments to northern communities like Solomons and Lusby.

Genealogists will find interest in several local landmarks, such as the Solomons Island Cem and Ebenezer Cem. The geography is intricately carved by coastal inlets like Hellen Creek, Mill Creek, and Brooks Cove, illustrating the maritime character of settlements such as Dowell and Johnstown. Regional aviation is prominent, with the Chesapeake Ranch Airport and the private Mears Creek Airfield serving this coastal corridor.
