1957 Map of Phoenix

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

My Ladys Manor and the surrounding rural districts of northern Baltimore County define this landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s. The map captures a transition from traditional agricultural life toward mid-century development, evidenced by the cluster of schools and churches like Shepperd Sch and Chestnut Grove Ch that served these growing rural communities. The eastern edge of the Loch Raven Reservoir provides a natural anchor in the southwest, while the Pennsylvania Railroad snakes through the valley of the Gunpowder Falls, linking settlements such as Phoenix and Monkton.

Tracing the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties, the map highlights significant local landmarks including the Elkridge-Harford Hunt Club and historical industry at Houcks Mill. This area, deeply rooted in Maryland's colonial land grants, is detailed with its network of old pikes and roads, such as Jarrettsville Pike and Hess Road, connecting scattered hamlets like Blackhorse, Madonna, and Jacksonville.
