[[ImageFile:NAS Patuxent River NAN4-48.jpg|thumb|Aerial view of NAS Patuxent River in the mid-1940s]]
Situated on a peninsula between the Patuxent River and the [[Chesapeake Bay]], NAS Patuxent River is located on 6400 acres of what was once prime farmland, consisting of several large farms, [[Mattapany]], [[Susquehanna]], and [[Cedar Point, Maryland|Cedar Point]], as well as numerous tenant and sharecropper properties and a few clusters of vacation homes. The [[Cedar Point, Maryland|Cedar Point]] community included several churches, a post office, and a gas station. Some of the old homes now serve as quarters for Navy personnel stationed there.
