Charlie,

You may wish to perform an experiment and go to Jones Point.  At Jones Point 
there are 2 markers well inland from the high water line that are used to 
define the MD-VA border.  Plus, there is a stone near the lighthouse, also in 
from the high tide line, defining the bottom of the original DC diamond.  If 
the marks on the 2 markers are to believed, the state boundary line is on dry 
land and hence a portion of Maryland exists at Jones Point.  I have also seen 
maps which reflect this point of view, such as the VA ADC map and I think 
George Jett had a different map brand also showing this.
