1951 Map of Edgewood

About this map

The Army Chemical Center and Aberdeen Proving Ground dominate this mid-century landscape in Harford County, where military operations and chemical defense infrastructure are woven into the estuarine terrain. The 1951 survey, updated with 1970 photorevisions, shows a specialized industrial-military complex including the Eastern Chemical Depot, a Water Treatment Plant, and extensive Transformer Stations near Canal Creek. This high-security activity stands in contrast to the older crossroads communities and historic sites such as Harford Furnace and McComas Institute.
