About this map

The Patuxent River and its tributary, the Middle Patuxent River, define the landscape of southern Howard County during the late 1950s. This survey records a period of agricultural transitions and early suburban shifts, centered on the village of Clarksville. Local family legacies are preserved through features like Linthicum Cem and religious hubs such as St Marks Ch and Mt Zion Ch.

Major water management infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Triadelphia Reservoir and the Rocky Gorge Reservoir, which dominate the river valleys at the Howard and Montgomery County borders. Along the winding roads, one finds established rural institutions including the Hopkins Sch and St Louis Sch, alongside smaller settlements like Dayton, Highland, and Fulton. A long-distance Pipeline cuts across the northwest, signaling the era's growing utility network through this traditional Maryland countryside.
