About this map

Reisterstown and the surrounding Worthington Valley define this mid-century landscape of northern Maryland, where institutional campuses and private academies sit amidst a rapidly developing suburban corridor. The map highlights the significant concentration of educational and medical facilities that characterized the era, including the Hannah More Academy for Girls, Garrison Forest Sch for Girls, and the Mc Donogh Sch for Boys.

Transport is anchored by the Western Maryland railroad, which services several established settlements such as Glyndon, Emory Grove, and Owings Mills. To the west, the expansion of Liberty Lake reflects the growing water infrastructure requirements of the region. The map captures a mix of longstanding religious landmarks like Sacred Heart Ch and St Georges alongside specialized sites like the Gwynnbrook State Game Farm and the Rosewood State Training Sch.
