1944 Map of Baltimore

About this map

The dense industrial and residential grid of Baltimore anchors this mid-century survey, revealing the city's complex interface with the Patapsco River and its surrounding hill country. At the harbor's edge, critical landmarks like Fort McHenry National Mon, Ferry Bar, and the massive rail infrastructure of the Baltimore & Ohio RR define the waterfront. To the north, the sprawling Loch Raven Reservoir dominates the drainage of Gunpowder Falls, surrounded by established suburban nodes such as Towson, Lutherville, and Cockeysville.
