2011 Map of Laurel

About this map

The Patuxent River and Little Patuxent River converge in this densely detailed suburban landscape, where longstanding institutions meet modern residential growth. Historic sites like Snow Hill Manor and several burial grounds, including Ivy Hill Cemetery and Saint Mary of the Mill Cemetery, anchor the community's heritage. The map highlights the area's role as a regional transit and educational hub, featuring the Laurel Racetrack, Bowie State University, and the Suburban Airport. Ponds and lakes dot the terrain, from Cash Lake to the SCS Lake, often managed by structures like the Cash Creek Dam. This survey documents the intricate network of neighborhoods such as Steward Manor, Duckettsville, and Jericho Park, illustrating how the corridor between major Maryland centers developed into a complex mix of academic, recreational, and residential zones by the early 21st century.
