1907 Map of Laurel

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

The Patuxent River and its multiple branches define the undulating landscape of central Maryland at the turn of the century. This survey documents the critical transportation corridor between Baltimore and Washington, anchored by the industrial and residential hub of Laurel. The map illustrates the convergence of major thoroughfares like the Turnpike and the Washington and Baltimore Road with several rail lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio (Washington Branch) and the Electric and Washington RR.

Institutional landmarks are prominent throughout the region, including the Normal Institute near Ammsdale and the House of Reformation south of Jessup. Along the eastern edge, the newly established Camp Meade indicates the transition toward military utility during the era of the Great War. Smaller communities like Guilford, Savage, and Muirkirk appear as busy pockets of activity, while the rural character is maintained by local features such as Hicks Mill and the Willis School.
