1948 Map of Spesutie

About this map

Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay on this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape heavily shaped by military utility and strategic geography. The facility features a complex network of internal infrastructure, including an auto test course, a sewage disposal plant, and an abandoned airport near the shoreline. Just across the Spesutie Narrows, Spesutie Island remains largely undeveloped except for scattered towers and a series of named points such as Bear Point and Locust Point.
