1965 Map of Lanham
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA) dominates the northern landscape of this Prince George's County survey, reflecting the rapid transformation of the Maryland suburbs during the space-age expansion of the mid-20th century. While institutions like the Glenn Dale Hospital and the Marietta Manor Historic Site anchor the area's social and historical identity, the map also captures the encroaching urbanization of communities like Lanham, Seabrook, and Bowie. The network of the Conrail railroad and the Capital Beltway underscores the region's importance as a transportation corridor between Washington and Baltimore.
