About this map

The Patapsco River and Severn River define this coastal landscape at the start of the twentieth century, where industrial growth and maritime trade meet established inland settlements. Strategic fortifications like Fort Mc Henry and Fort Carroll guard the approaches to the harbor, while the shoreline is dotted with active commercial hubs such as Raisins Wharf and Wagners Pt. The interior reveals a dense network of early rail lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Maryland Electric Railroad, which connected towns like Relay, Elkridge, and Linthicum. Genealogists will find interest in the documented rural churches, such as Friendship Church and St. Stephens Church, and the expansive Cedar Hill Cemetery. The transition from river to bay is marked by numerous creeks and coves, including Marley Creek and Sullivan Cove, illustrating the intricate water-based economy of Anne Arundel County before modern suburban expansion.
