About this map

Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates the eastern half of this landscape, reflecting a century of military integration into Harford County. The map details the specialized infrastructure of this installation, including the Phillips Army Airfield and the tactical grid of Trench Warfare Range Rd. Scattered along the edges of the military reservation are older civilian footprints like Michaelsville and Old Baltimore, which stand in contrast to the developed residential clusters of Riverside and Edgewood.

The coastal geography is defined by the branching fingers of the Bush River and Romney Creek, where low-lying points like Chilbury Point and Stony Point reach into the Chesapeake Bay. Inland, local history is preserved in several major churchyards, such as Saint Georges Spesutia Episcopal Church Cem and Cranberry United Methodist Church Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing the families who settled this peninsula before its modern transformation.
