2023 Map of Spesutie

About this map

The Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates the western portion of this 2023 survey, detailing the military installation’s extensive road network and specialized sites such as Bomb Proof Rd and the Aberdeen Proving Ground Post Cem. The landscape is defined by the complex waterways where Swan Creek meets the Chesapeake Bay, surrounding the expansive Spesutie Island. Across the water, the eastern shoreline of the Intracoastal Waterway features the developed communities of West View Shores and Hazelmoor. This map provides a detailed view of the modern coastal geography of Harford and Cecil Counties, including distinctive landmarks like the Turkey Point Lighthouse Tri at Elk Neck and the named shoals and points like Buzzards Glory and Cherry Tree Point that have shaped maritime navigation for generations.
