1944 Map of Solomons Island

About this map

The Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay define the landscape of this 1944 survey, centered on the strategic maritime geography of Solomons Island. At the height of wartime activity, a large Naval Reservation dominates the southern shore, while a network of established waterfront communities like Johnstown, Olivet, and Dowell cluster around the sheltered waters of Back Creek and Mill Creek. The map documents a blend of military infrastructure and traditional tidewater life, where family-named landmarks and local hubs like the Cherry Hill School and Ebenezer Church stand alongside significant naval installations.
