About this map

The intricate coastal architecture of Baltimore and Harford counties is defined here by the meeting of major waterways and early turnpikes. The landscape is dominated by the Gunpowder River and its massive estuaries, including Bird River and Middle River, which cut deeply into the land to create distinctive peninsulas like Carroll Island and numerous points named for early settlers. Inland, the transition from maritime trade to overland commerce is clear, as the Philadelphia Turnpike and Belair Road connect older rural settlements like Kingsville, Jerusalem, and Franklinville.
