Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds
Defining the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for The Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds Prepared By: Scott M. Strickland Virginia R. Busby Julia A. King With Contributions From: Francis Gray • Diana Harley • Mervin Savoy • Piscataway Conoy Tribe of Maryland Mark Tayac • Piscataway Indian Nation Joan Watson • Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and Subtribes Rico Newman • Barry Wilson • Choptico Band of Piscataway Indians Hope Butler • Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Prepared For: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, Maryland St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland November 2015 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this project was to identify and represent the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for the Nanjemoy and Mattawoman creek watersheds on the north shore of the Potomac River in Charles and Prince George’s counties, Maryland. The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the early years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept, developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes, has been incorporated into the Smith Trail’s Comprehensive Management Plan in an effort to identify Native communities along the trail as they existed in the early17th century and as they exist today. Identifying ICLs along the Smith Trail serves land and cultural conservation, education, historic preservation, and economic development goals. Identifying ICLs empowers descendant indigenous communities to participate fully in achieving these goals. -
Bladensburg Prehistoric Background
Environmental Background and Native American Context for Bladensburg and the Anacostia River Carol A. Ebright (April 2011) Environmental Setting Bladensburg lies along the east bank of the Anacostia River at the confluence of the Northeast Branch and Northwest Branch of this stream. Formerly known as the East Branch of the Potomac River, the Anacostia River is the northernmost tidal tributary of the Potomac River. The Anacostia River has incised a pronounced valley into the Glen Burnie Rolling Uplands, within the embayed section of the Western Shore Coastal Plain physiographic province (Reger and Cleaves 2008). Quaternary and Tertiary stream terraces, and adjoining uplands provided well drained living surfaces for humans during prehistoric and historic times. The uplands rise as much as 300 feet above the water. The Anacostia River drainage system flows southwestward, roughly parallel to the Fall Line, entering the Potomac River on the east side of Washington, within the District of Columbia boundaries (Figure 1). Thin Coastal Plain strata meet the Piedmont bedrock at the Fall Line, approximately at Rock Creek in the District of Columbia, but thicken to more than 1,000 feet on the east side of the Anacostia River (Froelich and Hack 1975). Terraces of Quaternary age are well-developed in the Bladensburg vicinity (Glaser 2003), occurring under Kenilworth Avenue and Baltimore Avenue. The main stem of the Anacostia River lies in the Coastal Plain, but its Northwest Branch headwaters penetrate the inter-fingered boundary of the Piedmont province, and provided ready access to the lithic resources of the heavily metamorphosed interior foothills to the west. -

Rappahannock Regional Jail 34
Part I: Setting the Stage Setting the Stage In 2007, the City Council adopted a Vision Statement to guide Fredericksburg toward its 300th anniversary in 2028. This Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for the community to attain that vision – addressing current conditions, defining goals for the future, and providing strategies that reconcile the existing conditions and the City’s desired outcomes. This Part I of the Comprehensive Plan sets the stage with a clear statement of vision, a brief overview of what a comprehensive is supposed to be, and a presentation of facts that provide a community profile. Preface Chapter 1: Vision and Comprehensive Plan Overview Chapter 2: Fredericksburg: A Community Profile 1 Preface Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 2014 This Comprehensive Plan has been prepared to guide decision making. It is to be used to help the City of Fredericksburg move forward in a manner that embraces local values and achieves the City’s vision for itself. The Fredericksburg City Council adopted its last comprehensive plan in 2007. A year later, the nation experienced a severe economic downturn that had a tremendous impact on the available revenues that are used to cover local government costs. The local real estate market dropped, although not as significantly as it did in some parts of the country, due to the City’s favorable location as a part of the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Still, some area housing lost value and many local businesses are still trying to recover. At this time, the City is beginning to see renewed investment in the community and this revised Plan renews the City’s policies to guide the anticipated growth. -

Merriam-Webster defines the Underside as a “part of life, a city, etc., that is hidden and usually unpleasant” or “that which is purposefully hidden from view.” Like many American cities, Fredericksburg’s past has many tales that reflect the Underside—the backroom deals that brought about monumental projects or scandals that were known by many residents but never shared. -

Janet Marie Sullivan
They are the best accomplishments of my life – my three children- Kathryn, Kim, and Chris. Janet Marie Sullivan A great deal of time and a great deal of love went into two other pursuits of Janet’s life. Her care and love of patients in the nursing profession lasted for over thirty years. Her interest in everything historical brought her to historical preservation. Janet Marie Sullivan Interviewer: Today is October 6, 2008. My name is Suzanne Willis and we are interviewing Janet Sullivan who has just told me that her full name is Janet Marie Sullivan. One of the reasons we wanted to interview you, besides your being an interesting person, is because this project by HFFI was established to record various community leaders’ involvement with historic preservation. Since you are one who does a great deal, we want to do an in-depth interview. Janet Sullivan: That would be great. Interviewer: Let us start with you first. What date were you born? Janet Sullivan: The date was December 30, 1942 during the war. My father (Woodrow Wilson Jones) had gone into the service and he was not here for my birth. He served on a mine sweeper, the USS Smythe, and he made about four crossings on the Atlantic side and then was sent to the Pacific. He went into Borneo and then into Japan. Interviewer: He wouldn’t have seen you until when? Janet Sullivan: I don’t know when he saw me. There are pictures of him holding me, so he must have come home between the Atlantic and Pacific crossings and I must have been a year old at that time. -
University Microfilms International
INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
