About this map

Camp Meade dominates the southwestern quadrant of this coastal Maryland survey, reflecting the military expansion of the early twentieth century. This detailed landscape captures the complex industrial and maritime geography surrounding the Patapsco River and the Severn River before the heavy urbanization of the modern era. To the north, the defenses of Fort McHenry and Fort Carroll guard the entrance to the harbor, while the shoreline is dotted with historic maritime infrastructure such as Raisins Wharf and the Quarantine station.
