2019 Map of Ellicott City

About this map

The Patapsco River carves a deep path through this borderland of Baltimore and Howard Counties, serving as the central axis for a region defined by its industrial heritage and suburban expansion. The historic mill towns of Oella, Gray, and Thistle sit clustered along the river's lower reaches, while further upstream, the settlement of Daniels remains a point of interest near the Baltimore & Ohio RR tracks. The transition from the dense street grids of Milford Mill and Woodlawn in the east to the more dispersed landscapes of Woodstock and Granite in the west illustrates the diverse character of the Maryland Piedmont.
