1949 Map of Perryman
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Aberdeen Proving Ground Military Reservation dominates the eastern half of this Harford County landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint along the Chesapeake Bay during the post-war period. The map details the technical infrastructure of the era, from the Phillips Field landing strips and control tower to specialized firing ranges such as the Pistol Range and Rifle Range. Away from the military installations, the community of Perryman and the industrial activity near Belcamp are served by a dense network of transport, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Local heritage is well-preserved through labels for the Harford Furnace School, Spesutie Church, and the site of Old Baltimore near the mouth of the Romney Creek. The complex shoreline, marked by Poverty Island Area and various points like Chilbury Point, showcases the interface of tidal guts and rural farmland typical of the upper bay.
