MARYLAND

Maryland contains a striking geographic range for a small state, from the Appalachian ridges of its western panhandle to the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States, and the Atlantic barrier islands of its eastern shore. Annapolis, its capital, has one of the largest concentrations of 18th century architecture in the United States and served as the temporary capital of the country following the Revolutionary War, while the battlefields of Antietam mark the site of the single bloodiest day in American military history.
