1956 Map of Rockville

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio RR corridor defines the mid-century growth of Rockville, serving as a backbone for industrial and institutional development. This era captures the city's suburban evolution, evidenced by a dense network of educational facilities like Lincoln Jr High Sch and Carver High Sch, alongside civic landmarks including the Courthouse and City Hall. To the east, the Congressional Airport represents a vanishing era of early aviation before modern expansion reshaped the county's transit landscape.
