About this map

The Patapsco River and its industrial corridors define this mid-century landscape just south of Baltimore, captured during a period of massive infrastructure growth. The construction of the Baltimore Friendship International Airport is a central focal point, showing the early footprint of what would become a major regional hub. Surrounding the airport, established communities like Linthicum Heights, Glen Burnie, and Lansdowne show the post-war transition toward suburbanization, while the presence of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads highlights the area's continued reliance on heavy transport.
