About this map

Aberdeen and its coastal surroundings define this landscape where the Bush River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The terrain is deeply intertwined with military and maritime history, featuring the expansive Phillips Army Airfield and the isolated Poverty Island Area. Traces of earlier communities are visible in the placement of Michaelsville and Old Baltimore, while the interior is dotted with residential developments like Riverside Village of Church Creek and Bayside Village.

For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several historic burial grounds, including Spesutie Cem, Cranberry Cem, and Saint Paul Cem. The intricate network of waterways, from Romney Creek to Mosquito Creek, illustrates the peninsula's traditional reliance on the water, while the modernization of the corridor is marked by the complex road systems around Belcamp and Perryman. The boundary between Harford Co and Kent Co runs through the open waters at the southern edge of the sheet.
