About this map

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine stands as a sentinel at Whetstone Point, anchoring the southern edge of this urban survey. The map details the dense, historic grid of Baltimore, tracing the evolution of neighborhoods from the colonial waterfront of Fells Point to the academic grounds of Johns Hopkins Univ and Loyola Coll in Maryland. The city's industrial and maritime identity is evident in the sprawling docks of Canton and Locust Point flanking the Northwest Harbor.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous burial grounds documented, including the sprawling Greenmount Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and several specialized sites like the Baltimore Hebrew Cem and Bohemian Cem. The landscape transitions from the established residential blocks of Govanstown and Homestead in the north to the heavily developed transportation corridors of the Pulaski Hwy in the east.
