MD 1 . Battle Creek Cypress Swamp. Acreage: 100. 



Location: Calvert County; Broomes Island and Prince Frederick quadrangles. 



Description: Registered Natural Landmark. Northernmost stand of bald cypress 

 on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. Lower sections of the swamp are

 specimen still remains intact, and a vigorous young stand is developing. This iso- 

 lated remnant shelters an interesting fauna as well as a representative sample of 

 the cypress swamp flora.
