2014 Map of Lanham

About this map

Lanham and the expanding suburbs of Prince George's County are documented here during a period of significant residential and transportation development. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Capital Beltway and the Baltimore - Washington Parkway, which hem in neighborhoods like Seabrook and Glenarden. Despite this modernization, several touchstones of local history remain, including the Saint Georges Chapel Cem and Lanham Cem. The map reveals the transitional character of the area, where institutional sites like the Prince George's Community Coll and recreational landmarks like the Vista Raceway and Freeway Airport sit among dozens of established subdivisions. Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and smaller cemeteries such as Mt Oak Cem and Ridley Zion Cem, providing a detailed look at the local fabric before further late-century growth.
