About this map

The Patapsco River carves through this early 1980s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between the expanding industrial and residential corridors south of Baltimore. The orthophoto format provides a clear aerial perspective of the massive infrastructure at the Baltimore Washington International Airport, which dominates the central portion of the quadrangle. Surrounding the airfield, suburban growth is evident in established communities like Linthicum Heights and Ferndale. The transit network is a primary focus, anchored by the Baltimore Washington Parkway and the historic junction at Relay. This survey documents the area as it transitioned into a major mid-Atlantic transportation hub, recording the footprint of residential neighborhoods in Glen Burnie and Halethorpe before further late-century development.
