About this map

Aberdeen and the expansive military installation at Aberdeen Proving Ground dominate this coastal landscape at the edge of the Chesapeake. The map details a complex transition from suburban development in Riverside and Belcamp to the restricted marshes and testing ranges of the army base. Significant local heritage is preserved in the grounds of Saint Georges Spesutia Episcopal Church Cem and Cranberry United Methodist Church Cem, which sit near the village of Perryman.

The southern portion of the sheet reveals the tidal geography of the Bush River and its various inlets, including Sod Run and Romney Creek. Small historical settlements such as Michaelsville and Old Baltimore are situated among the network of test roads and airfields, including Phillips Army Airfield. The boundary between Harford County and Kent County is noted in the waters of the Intracoastal Waterway, marking the eastern limit of this industrial and military corridor.
