About this map

The industrial and maritime activity along the Patapsco River and Curtis Bay is captured here just after the war. The map reveals a landscape defined by heavy transport and defense, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads serve a complex network of docks and depots. Significant military and municipal installations occupy the shoreline, including the U S Army Ordnance Depot and the US Naval Magazine near Hawkins Point. Moving south, the map transitions into the residential and recreational shoreline communities of the Marley Neck peninsula. Areas like Orchard Beach, Riviera Beach, and Lombardee Beach sit alongside established landmarks such as Marley Neck Church. The infrastructure of the era is prominent, featuring the Governor Ritchie Highway and the Municipal Airport situated north of the river near Sollers Point.
