1908 Map of Tolchester

About this map

The Chesapeake Bay dominates this early twentieth-century survey, revealing the intricate shoreline and maritime infrastructure of the Upper Bay before modern development. Defensive installations like Fort Howard at North Point and Fort Smallwood on the southern shore of the Patapsco River highlight the era's coastal protection strategies. On the water, Sevenfoot Knoll LH and Fishing Battery LH served as critical navigational aids for the heavy vessel traffic moving between Baltimore and the various river mouths.
