1957 Map of South River
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
Annapolis and its waterfront neighborhoods dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the deep inlets of the South River, Rhode River, and Weems Creek. Suburban expansion is evident in developments like Admiral Heights and Woodland Beach, yet the map preserves older rural anchors such as All Hallows Ch and Hopes Chapel. The transition from maritime industry to residential leisure is visible in the numerous wharves like Contees Wharf and Murray Wharf appearing alongside recreational areas and a large Golf Course. Key infrastructure, including the Armory, Radio Towers (WNAV), and multiple high schools like Bates High Sch, highlights the area's role as a regional hub. Southward, the geography remains more pastoral near Mill Swamp and Birdsville, where old road networks like Solomons Island Road connect historic crossroads and family cemeteries.
