1958 Map of Hereford

About this map

Gunpowder Falls carves a deep path through the northern Baltimore County landscape, defining a region of steep valleys and upland plateaus. By the late 1950s, the area maintained a rural character even as the Baltimore-Harrisburg Expressway began to cut across its center. The Pennsylvania railroad follows the winding river corridor through Glencoe and Sparks, where local hubs like Sparks Sta and Glencoe Sta served as vital connections to the city. Significant water management features dominate the periphery, with the Prettyboy Reservoir to the northwest and the northern reaches of Loch Raven Reservoir to the southeast.
