About this map

The Little Patuxent River and Middle Patuxent River define the suburban and industrial landscape of Howard and Anne Arundel counties in this modern topographic survey. The area transitions from the planned communities of Columbia, including neighborhoods like Oakland Mills and Jonestown, to the historic industrial core of Savage. Significant engineering landmarks are preserved here, most notably the Bollman Suspension and Trussed Bridge near the Baltimore and Ohio rail corridor.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, from the large Meadow Ridge Memorial Park Cem to smaller sites like Grace Cem and the unique Rosa Bonheur Pet Cem. Education and commerce are central to the region's character, evidenced by the Univ of Phoenix-Maryland Campus and Lincoln Technical Institute. The landscape is punctuated by water features such as Lake Elkhorn, Lake Kittamaqundi, and the General Electric Retention Pond, reflecting the managed development of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
