1953 Map of New Windsor

About this map

Westminster and the town of New Windsor anchor this survey of central Maryland, where the rural character of the mid-20th century is clearly visible through a dense network of mills and country churches. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the region is traced through features like Wakefield Mill, Roop Mill, and Baile Mill, all positioned along the winding corridors of Big Pipe Creek and Little Pipe Creek. The Western Maryland railroad provides the primary transport artery, connecting these milling centers with the larger population hubs.
