About this map

Fort Carroll stands as a sentinel in the Patapsco River, marking the entrance to a landscape defined by heavy industry and post-war residential expansion. In the late 1940s, the industrial hubs of Masonville, Fairfield, and Wagners Point dominate the northern shoreline, while the U S Ordnance Depot occupies a significant tract along Curtis Creek. The map documents the rapid suburban growth of Harundale and Glen Gardens, showing a network of new streets contrasting with the older, established neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay.
