1943 Map of St. Marys City

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The St Marys River carves a deep path through the southern Maryland landscape, defined by a complex network of coves and points such as Rose Croft Pt and Chancellor Pt. This 1943 survey reveals a landscape steeped in early colonial history, where the core of St Marys City sits near the river's edge, surrounded by established settlements like Park Hall and St Inigoes. The map records a dense collection of landings and geographical landmarks, from Carthagena Flats to St George Island, that illustrate the importance of the waterfront to the local economy and transportation during this era. Numerous country churches, including Bethesda Ch and Zion Ch, anchor the rural crossroads. To the east, the shoreline meets the Chesapeake Bay at Turkey Neck, where tidal ponds like Norris Pond mark the transition between the fertile inland and the open water.
