1900 Map of Havre De Grace

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this turn-of-the-century landscape, acting as both a formidable barrier and a primary conduit for industry between Havre De Grace and the Pennsylvania border. The map illustrates a complex network of 19th-century infrastructure, including the Baltimore and Philadelphia Turnpike and multiple rail lines like the Columbia and Port Deposit R. R. that hug the river's eastern bank. Local industry is anchored by the Principio Furnace near the shores of Furnace Bay, highlighting the area's long-standing connection to iron production.
