MARYLAND
Maryland, one of the thirteen original States, is bounded by Pennsylvania, Delaware, Chesapeake Bay, Virginia and West Virginia; gross area, 12,327 sq. miles; land area, 9,941 sq. miles; water area, 2,386 sq. miles; capital, Annapolis. The principal river is the Potomac.
     The surface of the State is varied, being level in the east and mountainous in the west. The Chesapeake Bay cuts the State in two parts. The Atlantic coast has no good harbors, but the bay, with its numerous coves, gives excellent facilities for water transportation.
