Two U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps were submitted to show the geographic context of the proposed development. They show the 115-acre Red House Run tract outlined as "Proposed Development," and annotate the surrounding built-up residential areas (average density 11 units/acre) versus the proposed tract (38 acres at 38 units/acre). Visible landmarks include Parkville, Fullerton, Overlea, Golden Ring, Rosedale, Chesaco Church, Back River, and the Red House Run creek itself.
