About this map

Baltimore's industrial and maritime heart is documented in this contemporary survey, centering on the densely developed urban core and its extensive harbor. The map highlights the historic defenses at Fort McHenry and the nearby Lazaretto Point, overlooking the West Channel and East Channel where the Middle Branch Patapsco River meets the bay. To the north, the landscape transitions into established neighborhoods like Waverly, Govanstown, and Gardenville, punctuated by major institutions including Morgan State University and Johns Hopkins University.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of burial grounds. Numerous religious and community cemeteries, such as Saint Vincents Cem, Bohemian Cem, and the Baltimore Hebrew Cem, are clearly marked across the eastern and northern city sectors. The intricate street grid connects landmarks like the Mitchell Courthouse with the green space surrounding Lake Montebello, providing a clear view of the city's modern infrastructure and historical footprint.
