1906 Map of Ellicott

About this map

Doughoregan Manor stands as a focal point of this landscape, reflecting the prominent Carroll family legacy in the rolling hills west of Baltimore. Surveyed just after the turn of the century, the map reveals a complex network of turnpikes and rail lines connecting established settlements like Owings Mills, Reisterstown, and Randallstown. The North Branch Patapsco River and South Branch Patapsco River wind through the terrain, meeting at the confluence that would later be transformed by regional water projects. Institutional landmarks such as St Charles College, the McDonogh School, and Springfield Hospital appear alongside smaller community anchors like Wards Chapel. The industrial and agricultural character of the era is evident in the placement of Carroll's Mill and the convergence of the Western Maryland RR and the Baltimore and Ohio RR near Ellicott City.
