1957 Map of Towson

About this map

Loch Raven Reservoir dominates the northern landscape, its sprawling fingers fed by Gunpowder Falls and Merrymans Mill Branch. The mid-century expansion of Towson is evident in the dense residential clusters south of the water, including established neighborhoods like Stoneleigh, Rodgers Forge, and Anneslie. The area serves as a major institutional hub, shown through the campuses of Goucher College and Towson State Teachers College, alongside specialized facilities like the Sheppard Pratt Hospital and the Maryland Training School for Boys.
