2014 Map of Phoenix

About this map

Gunpowder Falls and Little Gunpowder Falls carve through this landscape along the border of Baltimore and Harford Counties, anchoring a region of established rural settlements and evolving residential manors. The map reveals a dense network of historic locales such as Monkton, Jarrettsville, and Corbett, many of which developed around early milling sites like Hunters Mill and Houcks Mill. The topography is defined by numerous drainage runs, including Charles Run and My Ladys Manor Br, which separate the various farms and residential developments. Genealogists will find value in the location of Bethel Cem near Little Deer Creek Reservoir Number 3 and the Good Will Cem in the east. The naming conventions of modern developments, such as Kinhart Manor and Fox Meadows Purchase, reflect the area's transition from traditional agricultural use to suburban estate communities.
