It is bounded on the north by the State Of Pennsylvania and on the east by the State Of Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean. The southern boundary Of the State is the Potomac River which separates it from Virginia and West Virginia. West Virginia also borders Maryland on the west. The District Of Columbia is a political entity on the Potomac, between Prince Georges and Montgomery counties, Maryland. It is not physio graphically distinct from Maryland in any way, and herein is regarded as a part Of Maryland. The Maryland Geological Survey lists the total area Of the State as square miles, of which square miles are water. Thus the total land area of Maryland is square miles, making the State the eighth smallest in the Union. The area of the District Of Columbia is some 70 square miles, of which 8 are water. Maryland extends in a general ese - wnw direction for about 320 miles; the greatest north-south distance is approximately 150 miles.
