1987 Map of St. Marys City

About this map

The St Marys City shoreline along the St Marys River reveals a landscape defined by tidewater history and maritime operations in the late 1980s. This study documents the historic heart of Maryland's first capital, preserved within the St Marys City Historic Park and the campus of St Marys College. The geography is intricately carved by numerous coves and points, such as Church Pt and Chancellor Pt, which served as critical access points for the region's river-based commerce. To the south, the U S Naval Reservation (Webster Field) occupies a significant peninsula, illustrating the continued strategic importance of the St. Marys peninsula. Smaller settlements like Park Hall, Hermanville, and St Inigoes are connected by a network of rural roads including Mattapany Road and Hermanville Road, while the waters of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay frame the southern and eastern edges of the county.
