#1: The confluence point lies in an overgrown farm field, 0.11 miles South of a paved road. (This is also a view to the North, towards the road.)

(visited by Ross Finlayson)

09-Aug-2022 -- After (re)visiting [39,-77], I drove eastwards across the impressive Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Delmarva Peninsula. When I reached the eastern side of Chesapeake Bay, I stopped for an obligatory meal of crab cakes - the local (though expensive) specialty. I then continued to this Degree Confluence Point, which lies just 0.11 miles South of a paved road.

The point lies in an overgrown farm field. Just to the West is another field, planted with corn. The grass around the point was damped down, which told me that other people had visited this point quite recently (probably even more recently than Rainer Mautz and Elionora in May).

Here is a remote-controlled aerial video of this confluence point.

  Notes
From Annapolis, MD, take US-50 east to exit 46 (across the William Preston Lane Jr Memorial Bridge). Take US-301 east for 8.5 miles, and take a right onto SR-304 east (away from Centreville). Go 1.4 miles and turn right onto an unnamed road. Go 1.24 miles until the road ends in a T at Little Eagle Rd. To get to the confluence, turn left and walk 280 feet on Little Eagle Rd. Then, leave the road and walk due south 800 feet (remember to adjust if you're using a magnetic compass). Another way to get to the confluence would be to go 1.26 miles past the unnamed road on SR 304, and turn right onto Greenville Rd. Go 0.73 miles and turn right onto Little Eagle Rd. The best way to determine the confluence point is still to walk from the intersection of the unnamed road and Little Eagle Rd.
