2023 Map of Relay

About this map

The Patapsco River serves as the central physical divider between Baltimore Co, Howard Co, and Anne Arundel Co, anchoring a landscape defined by its deep transit heritage. The settlement at Relay and the adjacent Saint-Denis illustrate a long history as a rail crossroads, where Amtrak and Csx lines now parallel older transportation corridors. This area is heavily marked by its burial grounds, ranging from the expansive Arbutus Memorial Park and United Hebrew Cem to more intimate family sites like the Griffith Family Cem and the Boyer Burial Ground. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the northern infrastructure of the Baltimore/Washington International Airport Thurgood Marshall, while established communities such as Catonsville, Arbutus, and Elkridge fill the remaining upland terrain with dense residential networks.
