About this map

Ellicott City sits as a historic anchor along the steep banks of the Patapsco River, where its unique street layout and crossing points connect Howard and Baltimore counties. This 2016 survey illustrates the densely developed residential and commercial areas branching out from the river valley, including Saint Johns Village-Saint Johns Manor and the surrounding neighborhoods of Oella and Gray. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the river corridor, featuring landmarks like Buzzards Rock and technical infrastructure such as the Davis Tunnel.

The map details several historic burial grounds and institutions, including Saint Johns Cem and Good Shepherd Cem, which provide significant data points for local genealogists. Beyond the urban centers, the terrain transitions into the parklands and recreational corridors of The Tour de Patapsco, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle show the expansion of communities like Liberty Manor and Rockdale near the Community College of Baltimore County - Randallstown Campus.
