The Army Chemical Center and its surrounding infrastructure dominate the coastal plains of Harford County in the years following World War II. This 1949 field check reveals a landscape where military utility and early Maryland settlements coexist along the estuaries of the Bush River and Gunpowder River. The Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad slice through the region, connecting industrial nodes like the Edgewood Plant to established communities such as Abingdon and Joppa.
