1953 Map of Havre De Grace
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Havre De Grace serves as the focal point for this survey, situated at the strategic mouth of the Susquehanna River as it opens into Chesapeake Bay. The map documents a significant era of post-war military and institutional presence, characterized by the expansive Bainbridge Naval Training Center on the northern bluffs and the U S Veterans Hospital on the Perry Point peninsula. This 1953 landscape captures the intense intersection of mid-century infrastructure where the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads converge near the General Pulaski Highway. Along the eastern shores, traces of early industrial history remain visible at Principio Furnace on Principio Creek, while the Concord Pt Lighthouse stands at the harbor entrance. Further inland, rural community life is anchored by locations like Blythedale, Aikin, and several small family burial grounds including the Patterson Cem.
