Try here for ww2 maps of the area...

Note the "AT Range" marked... I assume... Anti-Tank Range.

There may well be others... if any help... no idea.

Probably more historical stuff will pop up if you search for "Fort Meade Military Reservation" rather than the Patuxent Reserve the area now appears to be known by.

Merging the two maps together... I would suspect the vehicles likely be located inside the "Military Reservation" if not somewhere adjacent to the AT Range.

Assuming these were hard targets, maybe they are somewhere up to 1 mile south of the AT range firing point?

Of course... they could be anywhere else, and were not there as targets.
