About this map

Upper Marlboro serves as a focal point for this mid-century survey of the Maryland landscape where Prince Georges and Anne Arundel counties meet. The Patuxent River winds through the center, widening into the broad waters of Jug Bay and Spyglass Island. This era captures a transition in local transport and leisure, featuring the Pennsylvania Railroad and Southern Maryland Railroad corridors alongside mid-century landmarks like the Marlboro Speedway and the Fairgrounds.

Rural life is anchored by numerous community landmarks, from Bristol Sch to historic congregations at Mt Calvary Ch and Wesley Chapel. The geography is defined by a network of creeks including Western Branch and Collington Branch, while the tobacco-country heritage is suggested by settlements such as Drury, Bayard, and Pindell. Significant topographic detail covers Mt Calvert and the marshes surrounding the river's edge, documenting the area's physical character before modern suburban expansion.
