About this map

The Patapsco River serves as the central artery for this late 19th-century landscape, separating Baltimore from the developing northern reaches of Anne Arundel and Howard counties. This era is defined by a dense web of competing rail lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio R.R. and the Annapolis and Baltimore Short Line R.R., which facilitated the growth of inland settlements like Linthicum and Glenburnie. Along the shoreline, Elkridge Landing stands as a point of interest, while the coastal reaches are dotted with maritime aids such as Ft. Carroll Light. The terrain transitions from the industrial outskirts of South Baltimore to the tidal inlets of the Magothy River, where landmarks like Mt. Misery overlook Round Bay. This detailed study captures the region before suburban expansion altered the local geography of Wellham Cross Roads and Severn.
