MARYS COUNTY. MARYLAND GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 77 accumulations along the margins while the less active streams have leftthe reentrant valleys practically unmodified. In southern Maryland thestreams which drain into Chesapeake Bay from the eastern slope ofCalvert county, as well as those which drain into the Patuxent river fromSt. Marys and Prince Georges counties, have shorter courses thanthosewhich drain into the Patuxent from Calvert county or into the Potomacfrom Prince Georges, Charles, and St. Marys counties. A similar con-trast is obvious between the streams which enter the Atlantic ocean fromthe Eastern Shore and those which enter Chesapeake Bay from thesame region.
