1901 Map of Gunpowder

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

Gunpowder River and the complex tidal estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay dominate this turn-of-the-century coastal survey. The map details a landscape where industrial transit and maritime life intersect, showing the Pennsylvania R.R. and Baltimore and Ohio R.R. cutting across the many fingers of the Middle River and Bird River. Settlement patterns follow the high ground along historic corridors like the Belair Turnpike, connecting inland communities such as Kingsville and Jerusalem to the waterfront.
