PCHT Trail Map
This map shows the locations of the 22 signs on ACLT hiking trails.

Maps are central to the Parkers Creek Heritage Trail Project. In addition to the maps presented on this page, numerous other maps illustrate PCHT web pages and trail signs. The creation of these maps was a collaborative effort:
-
From 2021-2024, Rachel Bissett carried out painstaking research regarding colonial land patents and developed the geospatial data needed to map them. At this writing (2026), she is a staff member at the Anne Arundel County Office of Planning and Zoning.
-
The retired surveyor Art Cochran researched and mapped numerous 19th and 20th century properties.
-
Exa Marmee Grubb, GIS Specialist at the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, assembled the preceding findings as an ESRI ArcGIS dataset as well as producing the StoryMap about land patents.
-
Mary Hoover, Regional Conservation Partnership Coordinator at ACLT, now serves as keeper of the digital data and created the interactive trail map.
-
Carl Fleischhauer guided the overall effort.
