About this map

Pimlico Racetrack and the extensive grounds of Druid Hill Park anchor this detailed mid-century view of the city's western expansion. The landscape is a dense network of institutional and religious landmarks, ranging from the Seton Institute and Spring Grove State Hospital to numerous educational centers like St Marys Seminary and Coppin State Teachers College. The mapping captures the transition from established neighborhoods like Hampden and Mount Washington to the developing suburban tracts around Pikesville and Lochearn.
