1965 Map of Laurel

About this map

Laurel stands at the heart of this mid-century landscape, a period of transition where traditional community landmarks like Ivy Hill Cem and St Marys Ch meet the massive federal footprint of the Cold War era. The map reveals the expansive specialized grounds of the National Security Agency and the Fort George G Meade Military Reservation, alongside research facilities like the U.S. National Agriculture Research Center and N.A.S.A. installations including the Goddard Space Flight Center (N A S A).

Industry and nature coexist along the Patuxent River corridor, where active Sand and Gravel Pits are found near the protected wetlands of Knowles Marshes and the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. Residential expansion is evident in developments like Maryland City and Snow Hill Manor, while older crossroads such as Duckettville and Newstop maintain their identities. The infrastructure of the period is anchored by the Baltimore Washington Parkway and the Baltimore Ohio Railroad, facilitating the region's intense governmental and scientific utility.
