1957 Map of Cockeysville

About this map

Cockeysville and Lutherville anchor this mid-century portrait of suburban Baltimore County, showing a landscape in transition as residential developments like Canterbury Estates and Long Meadows Estates began to fill the spaces between established rural communities. The map highlights a concentration of institutions that define the area's social fabric, including the Maryvale Prep Sch, St Pauls Sch, and the Sacred Heart Monastery. Transport infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Baltimore-Harrisburg Expressway and the Penn Central rail line cutting through the valley. This era also shows the cultural leisure of the time, with numerous golf courses such as Five Farms Golf Course and Woodholme Golf Course scattered across the undulating terrain of Chestnut Ridge. To the east, the edge of the Loch Raven Reservoir and the State Fairgrounds near Timonium mark significant regional landmarks that remain central to the county's identity today.
