1949 Map of Curtis Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Industrial expansion and residential growth define this mid-century survey of the Patapsco River waterfront. The dense grid of Brooklyn and Brooklyn Park transitions into the sprawling development of Glen Burnie and the burgeoning community at Harundale. Along the shoreline, the landscape is marked by maritime and defense infrastructure, including the U.S. Coast Guard station, the U.S. Ordnance Depot, and the Baltimore Municipal Airport. The map captures the specialized economy of Curtis Bay, where rail lines like the Baltimore and Ohio RR serve a Sewage Disposal Plant and numerous industrial wharves.
