1946 Map of Odenton
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Fort George G Meade Military Reservation dominates the western landscape of this 1946 survey, showing a massive complex of ranges and utility structures just after the war. The military presence is marked by technical infrastructure like the USC&GS Heating Plant Stack 1942 and several laundry tanks. Beyond the reservation boundary, the rural character of Anne Arundel County persists through small settlements and family-named locales like Sappington, Gambrills, and Millersville clustered along the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Robert Crain Highway. A notable concentration of community centers is evident, from the U. S. Naval Academy Dairy to historic spiritual sites such as St Stephens Church and Waugh Chapel. The Patuxent River and Little Patuxent River provide natural boundaries, while the unique Forest and Stream Animal Cemetery appears in the north, offering a rare look at specialized land use in the mid-century.
