1957 Map of Cockeysville

About this map

Worthington Valley and the surrounding Maryland hills reveal a post-war landscape in transition, where established estates and agricultural valleys meet the expanding suburban reach of Baltimore. The northern corridor is defined by the industrial and transport history of Cockeysville, Texas, and Ashland, where quarries and sand pits sit alongside the active Pennsylvania Railroad. To the south, the map details the residential growth of communities like Lutherville, Timonium, and Ruxton, situated near the waters of Lake Roland. The area is notably dense with educational and religious institutions, including the Maryvale Prep Sch, St Pauls Sch, and the Sacred Heart Monastery. Transport networks are in flux, showing the path of the Baltimore-Harrisburg Expressway cutting through the terrain alongside older thoroughfares like Falls Road.
