1957 Map of Phoenix

About this map

Little Gunpowder Falls and Little Falls carve through the northern Baltimore County landscape, defining a region where rural crossroads like Sweet Air, Jacksonville, and Sunnybrook served as local anchors in the mid-1950s. The Pennsylvania railroad line traces a winding path through the western portion of the sheet, connecting the settlements of Monkton, Corbett, and Phoenix. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of 19th-century infrastructure still in use, including Houcks Mill and numerous rural houses of worship such as St James Ch and Clynmalira Ch. In the south, the headwaters of the Loch Raven Reservoir appear at the confluence of several branches, including Greene Branch and Sawmill Branch, illustrating the area's role in the regional water system before suburban expansion transformed these family-named lands like Troyer and Beatty.
