About this map

Industrial developments and maritime defenses define this mid-century shoreline along the Patapsco River. The map captures a high concentration of military and logistical infrastructure, including the offshore Fort Carroll, the land-based Fort Armistead Park, and the expansive U S Army Ordnance Depot west of Curtis Bay. The landscape transition from the dense urban grids of Brooklyn and Fairfield in the north to the burgeoning suburban beach communities of Marley Neck is clearly visible. This era shows a coastal economy in flux, where traditional maritime sites like the U S Quarantine Station at Leading Point exist alongside a growing Municipal Airport and the heavy rail corridors of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads. Inland, the importance of family and community history is anchored by several large burial grounds, such as Cedar Hill Cemetery and Glen Haven Park Cemetery.
