1957 Map of Savage

About this map

The Little Patuxent River and Middle Patuxent River converge north of Savage, shaping a landscape of mid-century Maryland crossroads and growing institutional footprints. This 1957 field-checked survey captures the area just as suburban development began to intersect with long-standing agricultural and industrial sites. To the south, the Laurel Harness Racing Track and the sprawling grounds of the Maryland House of Correction near Jessup anchor the map.
