About this map

The Patapsco River corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine of this 1944 wartime survey, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads converge near Relay. The landscape reveals a transition from the established suburban clusters of Halethorpe and Lansdowne to the developing neighborhoods of Glen Burnie and Linthicum. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, including the United Hebrew Cemetery and Mt Zion Cemetery, alongside institutional landmarks like the Maryland Training School for Girls. The map documents the rural-to-suburban shift in northern Anne Arundel County, capturing smaller communities like English Consul and Pumphrey just as the region began its mid-century expansion. Proximity to Fort Geo. G. Meade Military Reserva at the southern edge underscores the area's strategic importance during the Second World War.
