1965 Map of Upper Marlboro

About this map

Upper Marlboro serves as a focal point for this survey of eastern Prince George’s County, where the agricultural legacy of the University of Maryland Tobacco Experimental Farm meets the encroaching postwar development of the Washington, D.C. suburbs. The landscape is a mix of wooded creek valleys like the Western Branch and large-scale institutional footprints, most notably Andrews Air Force Base. Traditional crossroads and rural hamlets such as Westphalia, Mellwood, and Croom Station are documented alongside new infrastructure like the Beltway and Suitland Parkway.
