1957 Map of Towson

About this map

The expansive Loch Raven Reservoir dominates the northern half of this landscape, its fingers reaching toward Cambria and Blenheim while defining the geography of the surrounding valley. This era reveals the suburban densification of Baltimore County, where established communities like Lutherville and Timonium sit alongside newer developments such as Shetland Hills and Devonshire Forest. The map documents a significant concentration of institutions, including the sprawling grounds of Goucher College and Towson State Teachers College, as well as specialized facilities like the Sheppard-Pratt Hospital and Stella Maris Hospice.
