1945 Map of Woodbine

About this map

The South Branch Patapsco River serves as the dividing line between Carroll and Howard counties, anchoring a rural landscape during the mid-1940s. Along its banks, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad threads through river towns like Watersville, Woodbine, and Morgan. This era captures a transition in transportation, where traditional agricultural hubs and crossroads settlements like Lisbon and Cooksville remained central to local life, even as modern infrastructure like a local Landing Strip began to appear near the Patuxent River.
