About this map

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine stands as the sentinel of the Inner Harbor, marking the strategic point where the West Channel and East Channel converge into the Chesapeake Bay. This modern survey reveals the dense urban grid of Baltimore and its established suburbs, reflecting a landscape defined by centuries of growth and industrial activity. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds such as the Westminster Burying Grounds, Gardens of Faith Memorial Gardens, and the Most Holy Redeemer Cem.

From the shipping channels of Fells Point to the residential streets of Waverly and Govanstown, the sheet illustrates the city's complex infrastructure, including the Howard Street Tunnel and Harbor Tunnel. The intricate network of cemeteries in the northeast, including United Hebrew Cem and Bohemian Cem, highlights the diverse cultural history preserved within the city's boundaries. Waterways like Herring Run and Moores Run provide a natural contrast to the heavy development of the harbor and the surrounding neighborhoods.
