About this map

The Baltimore metropolitan area and the northern reaches of the Chesapeake Bay define the central landscape of this mid-century regional survey. Extending from the industrial harbor at Fort McHenry to the agricultural valleys of Hagerstown, the map documents a period of significant suburban expansion and military readiness. Major installations such as Fort George Meade Military Reservation and the Aberdeen Proving Ground occupy vast tracts along the coast and inland corridors.
