1944 Map of Sparrows Point
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Industrial chimneys and maritime defenses dominate the coastal landscape of Patapsco Neck during the Second World War. Huge Stacks mark the steel works at Sparrows Point, while the surrounding waters of the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay are closely monitored by Fort Howard and Fort Smallwood. This era sees the convergence of heavy industry and recreational shoreline life, as workers from Chesapeake Mills and Lodge Forest lived near leisure destinations like Bay Shore Park and Paradise Beach.
