About this map

The Conowingo Dam and its expansive Conowingo Reservoir dominate the lower Susquehanna River valley on the Maryland and Pennsylvania border. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex modern landscape of Cecil and Harford counties, where recreational camps like Camp Conowingo and Camp Ramblewood exist alongside vital infrastructure. For the local historian, the map preserves the location of the Old Conowingo Iron Bridge and numerous family-oriented landmarks such as Lafayette Crossing and Kilby Corner.

High points like Cromleys Mountain and Wildcat Point provide topographical context to the river's winding path past Rowland Island. The area's settlement history is further reflected in its many rural burial grounds, including Bethesda Cemetery, Hosanna Cemetery, and the Darlington Cemetery. From the clustered community of Berkley to the industrial presence of the dam, the map details a region defined by its intersection with the water.
