2014 Map of Relay

About this map

The Thomas Viaduct anchors the historic transit corridor where the Patapsco River defines the border between Baltimore and Howard counties. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by its deep historical roots and modern infrastructure, centered on the community of Relay. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across this terrain, ranging from the large Arbutus Memorial Park Cem and United Hebrew Cem to smaller, family-oriented grounds like the Boyer Burial Ground and Griffith Family Cem. The map illustrates the convergence of historic residential enclaves like Lawyers Hill and Avalon with the massive footprint of the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Waterways such as Deep Run, Stony Run, and Sawmill Creek weave through suburban developments like Greenbriar Sandalwood and Timber Ridge, marking the drainage patterns of the Piedmont plateau as it nears the Chesapeake Bay drainage.
