1900 Map of Havre De Grace

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this 1900 landscape as it flows toward the head of the Chesapeake Bay, serving as a vital corridor for both natural drainage and industrial transport. Along its eastern banks, the town of Port Deposit and the nearby Principio Furnace illustrate the era's reliance on river-and-rail connectivity. The terrain is deeply incised by major tributaries like Octoraro Creek and Conowingo Creek, while the shoreline is dotted with named islands such as Persimmon Id. and Hickorynut Ids.
