About this map

The Annapolis waterfront and the surrounding South River basin are defined by a complex network of creeks and residential expansion in this 2014 survey. This portion of Anne Arundel County shows the dense settlement patterns of the Maryland capital, including the grounds of the Naval Academy and the busy commercial corridor of Parole. The transition from urban density to the sprawling wooded neighborhoods of Annapolis Neck is visible, with numerous small harbors such as Glebe Bay and Selby Bay Yacht Basin supporting the local maritime culture.

Genealogists and local historians can trace many burial grounds across the landscape, from the large Annapolis Cem and Hillcrest Memorial Cem to smaller sites like Hopes Chapel Cem and Saint Andrews Cem. Aviation history is represented by the Lee Airport located near Edgewater. The map meticulously records the fine-grain geography of the coast, noting minor landmarks like Threemile Oak Corner and the numerous coves, such as Larkington Cove and Hardestys Cove, that shape the jagged shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay.
