About this map

Sparrows Point dominates the industrial shoreline at the mouth of the Patapsco River, marking a critical juncture of Maryland's maritime and rail economy during the mid-war period. This coastal survey details the extensive navigation infrastructure of the Chesapeake Bay, including the Craighill Channel and the Brewerton Channel, which guided heavy traffic toward Baltimore. Coastal defense and public recreation share the landscape at North Point, where Fort Howard stands near Bay Shore and Pennwood Park.
