1987 Map of St. George Island

About this map

The St Marys River and Potomac River converge in this detailed mid-1980s bathymetric and topographic survey of the Maryland-Virginia border. St George Island sits as a narrow landform along the western shore, home to St Francis Xavier Ch and the shoreline area of St George Island Beach. The map highlights the maritime character of St. Mary's County, showing the intricate finger-like extensions of Jutland Neck and Tick Neck divided by Jutland Creek and Smith Creek. Across the wide expanse of the Potomac River, the Virginia shoreline at Cherry Point Neck and the settlement of Lewisetta are visible, marking the transition between the two states. The inclusion of the Landing Strip near Wynne and Camp Merryelande reflects the area's development as a coastal retreat and local aviation point during this era.
