2011 Map of South River

About this map

The South River serves as the central artery for this portion of Anne Arundel County, carving a complex coastline of points and reaches just west of the Chesapeake Bay. This survey illustrates the dense residential and maritime character of the region, from the suburban development in Parole and Admiral Heights to the waterfront communities of London Towne and Mayo. The transition from the urban fringes of Annapolis to more open agricultural and wooded tracts is evident near Java Farms and Summer Hill Farm. Maritime infrastructure is a defining characteristic of the landscape, with numerous facilities such as the London Towne Marina and Oak Grove Marina supporting the local boating economy. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including the National Cemetery, Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery, and the older All Hallows Cemetery located near the headwaters of Glebe Branch.
