1900 Map of Havre De Grace

About this map

The Susquehanna River serves as the central artery for this late 19th-century landscape, carving a deep gorge through the hills of northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania. Along its banks, industrial and transportation hubs like Port Deposit and Frenchtown anchor a network of railroads, including the Columbia and Port Deposit Branch. The map reveals a region defined by its water power and mineral resources, most notably at the Principio Furnace near the shores of the Northeast River. Away from the main river valley, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural crossroads and farming communities such as Rising Sun, Darlington, and Berkley. Genealogists may find value in the specific placement of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from Lees Mill in the north to the isolated school at College Green. The map captures the intricate river-and-rail economy just before modern bridges and dams permanently altered the river's flow.
