1956 Map of Bel Air
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The Harford County seat of Bel Air serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural roots to suburban expansion. The town center is densely marked with civic landmarks including the Armory, Court House, and County Jail, while later revisions highlighted in purple show the emergence of modern retail at the Harford Mall. Outside the main town, smaller crossroad communities like Hickory, Churchville, and Bynum maintain their distinct identities, often anchored by historic religious and educational sites such as St Ignatius Ch and Central Sch.
