About this map

The Patapsco River and its deep valleys anchor this postwar landscape, where the historic Thomas Viaduct carries rail traffic across the water between Relay and Elkridge. This mid-century survey captures the region just as the Baltimore Friendship International Airport began to reshape the landscape south of Linthicum Heights. To the west, the winding Rockburn Branch and Lawyers Hill overlook the wooded tracts of Patapsco State Park, while the eastern portion of the map shows a dense network of suburban developments like English Consul and Baltimore Highlands bordering the city line.

Local infrastructure of the era is remarkably detailed, including the Baltimore and Annapolis line and a variety of specialized institutions. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds and religious sites, such as the Arbutus Memorial Park Cemetery, United Hebrew Cemetery, and the All Saints Convent. Educational and civic landmarks like the Maryland Training School for Girls and the Severn School provide a look at the social fabric of Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties during a period of rapid mid-century expansion.
