2016 Map of Perryman

About this map

The Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates the landscape of Harford County in this survey, showcasing the specialized military infrastructure of the early 21st century. The map details a complex grid of testing and training grounds, including the Trench Warfare Range Rd, Phillips Army Airfield, and specialized routes like Pistol Rd and Combat Rd. While the northern section around Aberdeen and Riverside shows modern suburban development, the coastal areas along the Bush River and Chesapeake Bay retain a distinctive tidal character. Here, small communities like Michaelsville and Chelsea sit amidst extensive wetlands and creek systems such as Romney Creek and Bridge Cr. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several historic burial sites, including Saint Paul Cem, Spesutie Cem, and Cranberry Cem, alongside the location of Old Baltimore near the water's edge.
