USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The St Marys River meets the wide expanse of the Potomac River in this 1943 War Department survey, which highlights the maritime and military significance of this Chesapeake Bay threshold. On the Maryland side, St George Island and St Inigoes serve as critical navigational and tactical points, marked by features such as the St George Navy Mark and various range towers used for maritime calibration. The intricate shorelines of Jutland Neck and Tick Neck are dotted with small landings like Wynne and Potomac View, illustrating the water-dependent economy of St. Mary's County during the war years.
