Craighill Channel Upper Range Front Light, Historic lighthouse in Baltimore County, United States.

The Craighill Channel Upper Range Front Light features a square brick tower structure measuring 5.5 meters in height near the Patapsco River.

Built in 1885 and activated in January 1886, this lighthouse replaced the west North Point Range Light to guide vessels through Baltimore harbor's shipping channel.

The lighthouse represents maritime technological evolution, functioning as part of a dual lighting system essential for navigation in Baltimore County's waterways.

Located at coordinates 39.1971, -76.4482, this lighthouse continues to emit a fixed red light signal to guide ships through the first section of Baltimore harbor.

After a storm destroyed the connecting bridge in 1890, the keeper resided inside the lighthouse instead of the separate house on the shore.

Location: Baltimore County

Height: 5.5 m

Part of: Craighill Channel range lights

GPS coordinates: 39.19710,-76.44820
