1957 Map of Curtis Bay

About this map

The Curtis Bay Army Ordnance Depot dominates the industrial and military landscape of this 1957 survey, situated at the confluence of Curtis Creek and the Patapsco River. This area of Anne Arundel County illustrates a period of mid-century suburban expansion, particularly in communities like Harundale and Glen Gardens, while the waterfront remains dedicated to heavy transport and defense. Along the shoreline, sites such as the US Quarantine Sta and the offshore Fort Carroll reflect the maritime security of the Baltimore harbor approach. Inland, the map documents a network of community life centered around institutions like Halls Memorial Ch and Marley Neck Sch. The complex geography of inlets like Tanyard Cove and Stony Creek is lined with numerous small beach settlements, including Orchard Beach and Powhatan Beach, which served as local residential and recreational hubs before the intensification of modern development.
