This is a Chesapeake Bay list. Baltimore has the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse a kilometer from downtown, with Fort Carroll Lighthouse near Dundalk. Annapolis is the base for Thomas Point Shoal Light (1875), Sandy Point Shoal Light and Bloody Point Light. At the head of the bay, Turkey Point Light (1835), Concord Point Lighthouse and Fishing Battery Light are all within 15 km of Aberdeen. Drum Point Lighthouse and Cove Point Lighthouse have no town close by.
RLQuest knows 34 named lighthouses in Maryland, all but four of them with a Wikipedia article. The four Craighill Channel range lights, upper and lower, front and rear, are all here too.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
