1953 Map of Havre De Grace

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Bainbridge Naval Training Center dominates the northern bluffs overlooking the Susquehanna River, its sprawling complex complete with a golf course and amphitheater just years after its peak wartime activity. Directly across the water, the street grid of Havre De Grace centers around Memorial Hospital and the historic Condord Pt Lighthouse, serving as a critical junction for the Pennsylvania RR and the Baltimore and Ohio RR. The surrounding Cecil County countryside is dotted with small settlements like Principio Furnace and Blythedale, while the expansive U S Veterans Hospital occupies the peninsula at Perry Point. This survey captures a landscape of intense military and institutional development alongside older river towns, where navigation of the Chesapeake Bay met the heavy industrial corridors of the General Pulaski Highway.
