Solomons Island Nautical Chart
One of the Bay's best natural harbors, tucked inside the mouth of the Patuxent River behind Drum Point. The chart covers the deep-water approach (30+ ft in the river), the marked entrance into Back Creek and Mill Creek, and the anchorages off Molly's Leg. An easy all-weather entrance makes Solomons the classic mid-Bay stopover.
