1951 Map of Kensington
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The rolling hills of Montgomery County show the rapid post-war expansion of suburban Maryland, with residential developments like Viers Mill Village and Glenmont Forest rising between established crossroads. The Baltimore and Ohio RR cuts through the landscape, anchoring the towns of Kensington and Garrett Park while providing a transport spine that connects these growing communities to the broader region. This era is defined by a significant institutional presence, featuring the Army Medical Center, the Naval Medical Center, and the Johns Hopkins Laboratory.
