1956 Map of Beltsville
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
College Park and the surrounding Maryland suburbs are shown here during a period of significant mid-century expansion along the Baltimore Ohio Railroad. This landscape is heavily defined by large institutional holdings, most notably the massive U S Department of Agriculture Research Center and the U S Naval Reservation Ordnance Laboratory. These government tracts create a distinct spatial pattern, preserved as open or specialized space amid rapidly growing residential developments like Adelphi Village, Oakview, and Indian Spring Village.
