1908 Map of Patapsco

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

The inner harbor and industrial waterfront of Baltimore anchor this early 20th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its maritime connections and rail infrastructure. Guarding the approaches to the city are the historic Fort McHenry and the island battery of Fort Carroll. Beyond the urban core, the map traces the convergence of major turnpikes such as the Frederick Turnpike and York Turnpike, which link the city to outlying towns like Towson, Catonsville, and Ellicott City.

To the northwest, the map details the limestone valleys of Green Spring Valley and Worthington Valley, alongside institutions like the McDonogh School and St Charles College. The rail network is remarkably dense, featuring the Baltimore & Ohio RR and specialized lines like the Baltimore & Annapolis Electric RR. From the heights of Soldiers Delight down to the shores of Chesapeake Bay, this sheet documents the early suburbanization and industrial development surrounding the Patapsco River.
