About this map

The industrial legacy of Baltimore County is evident across this landscape, where large-scale extraction sites like the Oregon Ore Bank, Caves Ore Bank, and Cross Ore Bank mark the historic iron ore deposits that once fueled local furnaces. By the early 21st century, these sites exist alongside modern developments such as the Campbell Quarry and Greenspring Quarry. The map detail follows the course of Jones Falls and its many tributaries, including Beaverdam Run and Western Run, which historically provided the water power for early mills in settlements like Oregon and Ashland.

Suburban growth is reflected in the dense network of residential developments and institutions, from the Maryland State Fair Grounds to the Seminary near Lutherville. Significant green spaces and water infrastructure, such as the Pikesville Reservoir and Lake Roland, are surrounded by established landmarks like the Druid Ridge Cemetery and the many named hilltops and farms that characterize this portion of the Maryland Piedmont.
