1948 Map of Baltimore
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Baltimore serves as the central hub for this mid-century regional survey, which illustrates the complex intersection of maritime commerce, heavy industry, and military infrastructure during the early Cold War era. The sprawling industrial waterfront at Sparrows Point and the established defenses at Fort McHenry underscore the city's strategic importance along the Chesapeake Bay. Major transit corridors like the Pennsylvania RR and Baltimore & Ohio RR connect the coast to inland centers including Frederick, York, and the historic site of Gettysburg.
