1968 Map of St. Clements Island

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

The Potomac River forms a wide aquatic boundary between the shores of St Marys County, Maryland, and Westmoreland County, Virginia, in this late 1960s topographic and bathymetric study. The map centers on the historical St Clements Island, home to St Clements State Park, sitting amidst the shifting sands of Heron Island Bar. The Maryland shoreline is defined by the prominent peninsulas of Newtown Neck and Medleys Neck, which separate the waters of St Clements Bay and Breton Bay. On the Virginia side, the landscape is shaped by the complex inlets of Nomini Bay and Lower Machodoc Creek. The settlement patterns reflect a maritime economy, from the docks at Coltons Point to the residential developments at Glebe Harbor and Coles Point. Genealogists may find interest in Coles Point Cem and the small coastal airstrip at Hampton Airport.
