2019 Map of Solomons Island

About this map

Solomons Island and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay communities appear here in a state of late-twentieth-century residential and institutional maturity. The map captures the complex shoreline where the Patuxent River meets the bay, marked by the prominent Thomas Johnson Bridge connecting Johnstown to the lower peninsula. On the southern shore, the sprawling installation of Patuxent River Naval Air Station/Trapnell Field dominates the landscape near Pearson Creek, highlighting the area's long-standing military significance. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Solomons Island Cem and Our Lady Star of the Sea Cem. Residential developments like Chesapeake Ranch Estates and the expanding suburbs of Lexington Park and California illustrate the modern transition from a maritime economy toward a more suburban, commuter-based layout centered around major corridors like Three Notch Rd.
