1944 Map of Reisterstown
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Reisterstown and its surrounding countryside represent a late WWII-era landscape defined by institutional estates, specialized agriculture, and the Western Maryland railroad. The topography is etched by the Gwynns Falls and numerous branches, such as Scotts Level Branch and Horsehead Branch, which traverse a region noted for its valley estates and social institutions. Major landmarks include the Hannah More Academy and the Rosewood State School, alongside industrial and utility markers like local Distilleries and the Radio Transmitter Station W B A L. Small settlements such as Glyndon, Owings Mills, and Harrisonville are connected by a network including Nicodemus Road and Liberty Road. This 1944 survey documents the area's transition toward suburbanization while maintaining the rural character of Worthington Valley and The Caves.
