About this map

The industrial and maritime activity along the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay defines this early twentieth-century landscape. At Sparrows Point, the presence of Chesapeake Mills and a sprawling rail network belonging to the P. R. R. illustrates the importance of the steel and shipping industries to the Maryland shoreline. Strategic coastal defense is prominent at the mouth of the river, with Fort Howard and Fort Smallwood guarding the approaches to Baltimore.
