Maryland, one of the middle Atlantic states, is bounded on the north by Pennsylvania; on the east by Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean; on the south and west by Virginia and West Virginia, from which it is separated in part by the Potomac River. It lies between about 37º 53′ and 39º 43′ north latitude, and between 75º 4′ and 79º 29′ west longitude. The state measures about 250 miles from east to west and about 100 miles from north to south at its widest, though it narrows to less than 2 miles near Hancock. It contains approximately 12,407 square miles, or 7,940,480 acres.
This state project is part of the much larger American History & Genealogy Project or better known by the abbreviation of AHGP. It has been in existence online since 2000 and over the years has been spread out across the web. These pages are an attempt to consolidate it under one website of the larger project.
