1960 Map of North Baltimore

About this map

North Baltimore serves as the central hub of this 1960 landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio rail line intersects with a grid of rural roads including Hammansburg Road and Belmore Road. The area shows a transition from agricultural fields to heavy infrastructure, notably around Cygnet where a large Tank Farm and numerous pipelines indicate the region's mid-century role in energy transport. To the south, the Van Buren Lake State Reserve provides a distinct recreational contrast to the industrial quarries and gravel pits scattered near the village centers.
