About this map

The Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates the western portion of this coastal Maryland survey, encompassing a complex network of military infrastructure and natural landmarks along the Chesapeake Bay. The terrain is defined by its points and islands, most notably Spesutie Island, which is connected to the mainland via the Spesutie Island Bridge across the Spesutie Narrows. This military installation features uniquely named corridors such as Bomb Proof Rd and Mulberry Point Rd, reflecting its specialized usage in the 21st century.

Across the water in Cecil County, residential clusters like Hazelmoor, Cheshaven, and West View Shores sit near the southern tip of the Earleville peninsula. This area is anchored by Grove Point and the adjacent Grove Point Disposal Area Lake, marking a distinct contrast between the restricted military landscape of Harford County and the residential and recreational shoreline to the east. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the bay, serving as a primary maritime artery between these diverse coastal environments.
