About this map

Pikesville and Catonsville anchor the western edge of this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by institutional development and the expansion of the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland rail lines. The area is dense with legacy institutions, ranging from the St Vincents Infants Home and Spring Grove State Hospital to the historic Pimlico Race Track. The transition from the urban grid of west Baltimore to the suburban pockets of Villa Nova and Sudbrook Park is visible, punctuated by numerous religious and educational centers like St Marys Seminary and the Gilman Country School.
