Nice story but those are all horrible places now. Port Tobacco is only for the affluent, or effluent, fleeing DC. Nanjemoy, Marbury, etc., will soon become examples of the unabated urban sprawl creeping down the 210 corridor. Waldorf posses no more historical significance than being the USA's most abject example of strip malls gone wild.
Developers continue to build with blatant disregard to history, nature, ecology, and as we are seeing now, the water table.
For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee!

People have to live somewhere. History, nature, ecology can all work together. Developers have to get permits before they are allowed to build. It is the commissions who oversee the developers to do their part and make sure a balance is achieved between people and nature. It can be done. You can see an aerial view of the area from any onlline map and see plenty of undeveloped areas. Property taxes are high enough that the area should be kept naturalized. Surely some of the taxes go toward maintaining natural areas.
