Fort Meade and the surrounding suburban corridors of Odenton and Crofton define this central Maryland landscape. The survey documents an area heavily shaped by military installations and transportation networks, with Meadedale and Mayfield providing residential buffer zones near the base. A remarkable density of family and institutional burial grounds is preserved across the terrain, including Our Lady of the Field Cem, Macedonia Cem, and the Woodward Cem. These sites, along with the Disney Cem and Sulpher Springs Cem, offer vital touchpoints for genealogists tracing the pre-suburban heritage of the region. The natural drainage of the Little Patuxent River and Severn Run creates a winding contrast to the rigid geometry of the modern road system, while smaller landmarks like Walking Fish Pond and Soldier Lake highlight the localized hydrology of the Anne Arundel County interior.
