About this map

Industrial Sparrows Point dominates the northwestern corner of this Chesapeake Bay survey, showing a landscape defined by steel production and strategic maritime navigation just after World War II. The map details the complex dredging of the Brewerton Channel and Cutoff Channel, essential for the deep-draft vessels serving the Bethlehem Steel works. Shoreline communities such as Lodge Forest and Edgemere appear near the military installations at Fort Howard.
