1944 Map of Lanham
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks and the Defense Highway bisect the rolling landscape of central Prince George's County during the final years of the Second World War. This mid-century view shows a rural and institutional landscape on the verge of suburban expansion, dominated by large facilities such as the Beltsville Research Center and the Bureau of Standards. A network of small schools like the Old Lanham Sch and McCarthy Sch serve localized settlements, while larger institutions like the Glenn Dale Sanitorium and Divine Savior Seminary occupy significant acreage.
