Cedar Point Light, Maritime navigation structure at Cedar Point, St. Mary's County, US
The Cedar Point Light featured a two-story brick house with an attached tower standing at a height of fifty feet above water level.
Constructed in 1896, the lighthouse marked the critical junction between Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent River until its abandonment by the Coast Guard in 1928.
The lighthouse cupola remains preserved at the Patuxent Naval Air Station museum, representing the maritime heritage of St. Mary's County waterways.
The historical marker commemorating Cedar Point Light stands in Lexington Park, Maryland, accessible from Three Notch Road north of Pegg Road.
Cedar Point Light earned distinction as the final house-type lighthouse built in Chesapeake Bay before modern navigation methods replaced traditional structures.
