Some residents of the southern third of Prince George's County consider themselves part of Southern Maryland as well... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ianrothman (talk • contribs) 23:02, September 2, 2005.

Image and communities I updated the image the image to include the portions of Prince George's and Anne Arundel that are considered in Southern Maryland. Since there is no official northern latitude border for Southern Maryland, I drew it as a line from the eastern pincicle of Washington, D.C. to the Chesapeake Bay. This roughly corresponds with the pate of MD Route 214.

In Prince George's there are several things with the So. Md. name, such as the Southern Maryland Hospital Center in Clinton.--Findpeace 00:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree - the boundary should probably be a bit further south, to not pass too close to Annapolis, but the boundary is vague, and the graphic is small, so I think it is close enough. Walt 18:28, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

It is more conventional to just shade "border" counties/states and so forth in a lighter shade, and to make note of their ambiguity in the image description. I shaded PG and AA pink. --tomf688 (talk) 18:41, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah i would have to agree, i didn't like the other map being so defenitive in where the line was, espically in that it would have included communityies in th D.C. area where it would be a stretch to call them in southern Maryland. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem with the map as it stands now, though, is that it makes it seem as if (for example) Greenbelt might be considered by some to be in Southern Maryland, and I don't think that would ever be the case. On the other hand, Brandywine might well be. Perhaps it would work to have some sort of shading of the "border" counties where the color is less intense the further north you go? Still not perfect, but something like that would make the map a lot closer to reality than what we've currently got. DBowie 13:07, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

A quick google on the respective subjects shows most of the hits lie outside Maryland, none appear to be pertinent to Southern Maryland in particular, with the exception (which should be supported via reference to news articles) of the crabs.Tedickey 21:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
