1906 Map of Ellicott

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Patapsco River and its numerous branches carve through the landscape of Howard, Carroll, and Baltimore Counties at the start of the twentieth century. This area is defined by a transition from traditional rural estates like the expansive Doughoregan Manor to the early industrial and institutional growth seen at Ellicott City. The map documents a dense network of early transport, including the Western Maryland RR and the Emory Grove Electric RR, which served developing communities like Reisterstown and Owings Mills. Notable landmarks of the era are clearly marked, such as St Charles College, the McDonogh School, and the sprawling Springfield Hospital grounds. From the serpentine course of Morgan Run to the open stretches of Worthington Valley, the survey illustrates how the region's diverse topography dictated the placement of historic turnpikes and turn-of-the-century settlements.
