1904 Map of Baltimore

About this map

The industrial and maritime hub of the Patapsco River waterfront anchors this early 20th-century landscape, dominated by the dense urban grid of Baltimore City and its bustling North West Harbor. Beyond the city limits, the map illustrates the northward expansion of the metropolitan area along established turnpikes and rail lines. The Northern Central RR and Maryland and Pennsylvania RR cut through the rolling terrain, linking suburban enclaves like Lutherville and Towson to the urban core. To the north, the Gunpowder River and the early footprint of Loch Raven signify the region's developing water infrastructure.
