About this map

Educational institutions and specialized state facilities dominate the mid-century landscape of this Baltimore County corridor. The area is defined by a series of prominent campuses, including the Hannah More Academy for Girls, Mc Donogh Sch for Boys, and the Franklin High Sch. Infrastructure for public health and welfare is also extensive, represented by the Mt Wilson State Hospital and the Rosewood State Training Sch.

Transport and community life center on the Western Maryland corridor, which connects established settlements like Reisterstown, Glyndon, and Owings Mills. To the west, the recently formed Liberty Lake has significantly altered the drainage of Locust Run and Chimney Run. The map preserves the locations of numerous historic religious and burial sites, from the Sacred Heart Ch and St Lukes Cem to the Tifereth Israel Cem, reflecting a diverse community history near the Carroll and Baltimore county line.
