1944 Map of Baltimore West
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Pimlico Race Track and the sprawling grounds of Spring Grove State Hospital anchor this wartime view of the city's western edge. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of religious and social institutions, from the St Josephs Monastery to the St Marys Industrial School, reflecting a period of significant institutional presence in the suburbanizing corridor. Major transportation arteries like Reisterstown Road and the Western Maryland RR cut through established neighborhoods such as Arlington and Forest Park, while the wooded valley of Gwynns Falls provides a natural break in the expanding grid.
