1969 Map of Curtis Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The industrial and residential landscape of northern Anne Arundel County is documented in this 1969 survey, showing the expansion of Glen Burnie and the densely developed neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay. This era is defined by massive infrastructure along the Patapsco River, where the Curtis Bay GSA Depot and various sewage disposal sites sit alongside heavy rail lines like the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio. To the south, the map reveals a shift toward suburban and waterfront living, with numerous named beaches such as Powhatan Beach, Orchard Beach, and Rock Hill Beach lining the intricate inlets of Marley Creek and Stony Creek. Cultural and community anchors are well-represented, ranging from the Cedar Hill Cemetery and Glen Haven Memorial Park to institutions like North Arundel Hospital and the Dundalk Vocational School.
