1897 Map of Laurel
USGS Topo · Published 1897About this map
Laurel serves as the central hub of this late nineteenth-century landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR intersects with a network of local roads and waterways. The map reveals an economy transitioning between agriculture and industry, marked by multiple Iron Ore deposits scattered south of Savage and Contee. This region at the junction of Howard, Montgomery, and Prince George counties is defined by the convergence of the Little Patuxent River and Middle Branch Patuxent River, which provided essential water power for local operations.
