About this map

Solomons Id. and the surrounding Chesapeake shoreline represent a coastal landscape defined by its maritime commerce and landings in the early 1900s. Along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the map documents a network of critical river landings and wharves, such as Spencers Wharf, Broomes Wharf, and Bacons Wharf, which served as the primary connection points for local agriculture and trade. The interior of the St. Mary’s peninsula reveals early centers like Centerville and Saint Inigoes, while the eastern portion of the survey highlights the intricate archipelago of the Hooper Islands and Bloodsworth Island. This era captures the region's total reliance on water transport before modern bridge networks, evident in the numerous labeled points and coves like Point Lookout and Cornfield Harbor at the mouth of the Potomac River.
