1953 Map of Elkton

About this map

Elkton serves as a critical junction where the northern reaches of the Elk River meet the engineering of the mid-20th century. This survey documents the landscape before significant late-century suburbanization, showing established neighborhoods like Hollingsworth Manor and West Meadow alongside vital community institutions such as Union Hospital and the George Washington Carver Sch. The map tracks the industrial and transportation infrastructure that defines the region, from the Amtrak line bisecting the county seat to the expansive Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in the south.
