1953 Map of Havre De Grace

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Havre De Grace and Perryville face one another across the mouth of the Susquehanna River, connected by road and rail bridges that define this critical corridor of the Chesapeake region. The landscape reflects a mix of deep-rooted industry and large-scale military and medical institutions established by the mid-20th century. Notable among these is the Bainbridge Naval Training Center on the heights above Port Deposit, while the U S Veterans Hospital occupies the prominent Perry Point. Trace the legacy of early ironwork at Principio Furnace near Principio Creek, or locate local landmarks like the Concord Pt Lighthouse and various family-named sites such as Patterson Cem and Foys Hill. The map meticulously details the transit networks of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, which share the coastline with the General Pulaski Highway.
