About this map

Camp A P Hill Military Reservation dominates much of this Caroline County landscape, characterized by numerous observation towers, range corners, and established posts like Raymonds Fork and Baylortown. The town of Bowling Green serves as a central hub, where the intersection of local routes meets the extensive rail corridor of the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac. This 1969 survey, with purple-shaded 1972 revisions, illustrates the expansion of infrastructure near the military installation, including Airstrip No 1 and various sewage disposal sites.

Local genealogy and history are well-preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and corners, such as Acors Corner, Carters Corner, and Howards Corner. Religious and civic life centers on locations like Mt Calvary Ch, Union High Sch, and several community burial grounds including Evergreen Cem and Lakewood Cem. The surrounding terrain is heavily watered by systems like Maracossic Creek and Peumansend Creek, supporting numerous ponds such as Delos Lake and Buzzard Roost Pond.
