I do know that Contee Construction once held title to much of Aspen Hill, especially the tracts that were eventually developed by the Levitt corporation (of Levittown fame) as "Strathmore at BelPre".

They bought up a whole lot of the old Beall Tract, which had been subdivided in and out of various hands in the late 19th century and early part of the 20th century. One of the Contee purchases may be found in the Montgomery County Land Records at Liber 1816 folio 328.

See that link to "Strathmore", above, and follow the link to "plat maps". Around the edges of that development you'll find a lot of notations to "Contee" and to "outer circumferential freeway", that being the old "Rockville Facility".

That can also be found on various other plat maps in and around Aspen Hill, notably in Harmony Hills and Hermitage Park.
