Appendix one consists of three tract lists and maps that detail survey of non-tidal Potomac River patents.

For presentation purposes, the lists and maps cover three distinct geographical sections of the non-tidal Potomac River between Washington D.C. and the Maryland / West Virginia border in Garret County Maryland.
 

The maps are numbered in series based upon their geographical section and the sequence in which the maps were generated during the mapping process   (e.g. The first map in section 1 is known as Map nontidal1-1. Subsequent maps from the same section are numbered sequentially: the next map from section 1 is known as Map nontidal1-2.)

In each section, the first map provides an overview of all tracts located along the Potomac River.  Subsequent maps display tracts located along the Potomac that have at least one of the following characteristics:

1. The survey extends to the Virginia shore of the Potomac River.
2. The survey includes land that is an island in the Potomac River.
3. The survey includes a portion of the land under the banks of the Potomac.

Maps

The maps are used to give the location of the tracts relevant to this report. A key is provided on each map that details the geographical area covered, the time period covered, the information on the map, and the scale.  The majority of the  maps display tract numbers, which correspond to the tract list provided below.  In areas that have a high concentration of tracts there are several maps that detail the same area but display a separate time period.

1.  Of the 6 tracts reaching the Virginia shore, Mount Vernon MO 305 was corrected because it included land previously patented at the Great Falls.
2. Acreage total does not include 143 acres from Mount Vernon MO 305.
3. There are 28 tracts that include islands. Some tracts have more than one  island or were surveyed in parts. Figures in this column are for  tracts that have islands in their surveys.
4. Total of 39 includes 6 tracts that reach the Virginia Shore (three of which are also islands and  included in the island count, but only counted once for statistical purposes), 5 tracts that extend into the river, and 28 tracts that include islands.
5. There are 31 tracts that include islands. Some tracts have more than one  island or were surveyed in parts. Figures in this column are for  tracts that have islands in their surveys.
6. Total of 41 includes 9 tracts that reach the Virginia Shore (three of which are also islands and  included in the island count, but only counted once for statistical purposes), 1 tract that extends into the river, and 31 tracts that include islands.
7. Total of 4 includes 4 tracts that reach the Virginia Shore.

General Notes:

There are many more island tracts that have not been plotted because they were patented after 1862.

Work below Washington DC suspended in order to focus on tracts above tidewater.

Islands are tracked separately because their metes and bounds usually cover the area of the island exposed at low tide. The islands are not  included in figures for Tracts Bordering the Potomac, but are included  when applicable for Tracts to the Virginia Shore.

The remaining tracts in the database are entries that do not border River, have not been completed yet, have not been plotted with reasonable certainty, or were used to correct magnetic variations.

Very little work done in Garrett County to date.

• The following information is vital to understanding the number of tracts that are categorized under Tracts in the Potomac. Several tracts that lie in the Potomac may be attributed to surveying errors and were later resurveyed in order to remove the area foul of the river, they are not included in the count for tracts extending into the river. Some tracts appear to be in the river, however, this may be the case due to erosion.
