Beautiful Baltimore In 1877

When I found this Atlas of Baltimore County, it was buried under a pile of newspapers in a box lot.

The cover looked disappointing, but then I opened the pages to find all of the interior was beautifully preserved.

There are over 80 pages of maps, etchings, and data sheets on the County.

The maps include:

City of Baltimore

13, two page maps of the Districts

County of Baltimore two page map

State of Maryland

Eastern & Western Hemisphere Maps

United States & Territories Map (2 pages)

Plus 3 “Views” pages with drawings of:

T Flory & Cost Carriage Manufactory

Goshen Property of Benjamin I. Gardensville

German Lutheran Church of Gardensville


The data sheets (on the District pages) are great for those interested in genealogy as they have lists which include the names and occupations of prominent business owners in the area at the time of printing.


The Atlas is available for sale as a whole or you may purchase individual, prints on high quality, acid free paper or canvas. Please contact me for more info on ordering.

Journeys

I decided to take some time and get some of my larger and favorite maps on the blog & reorganized for viewing pleasure.

Enjoy a trip thru the neighborhoods of 1877 Baltimore, take a ride on the railroads of Washington State in 1914, and view World War II action during the week of January 3, 1945.
If you enjoy Cartography as much as I do subscribe now to stay informed of new postings as there are many more maps to come.
Also if you are looking for a particular map (especially from the Northwest) let me find it for you.

Enjoy!
