CONDITION: Single page Map that has a full double page folded map and single page map on the back. . As Scanned.This 1888 map of Baltimore, labeled "Map of Baltimore," presents a detailed snapshot of the city's layout during the late 19th century, crafted by George F. Cram, known for his detailed urban and transportation maps. The map shows the densely packed grid pattern of Baltimore s downtown area, with streets aligned in a rectangular grid and many labeled roads and blocks, typical of a well-organized city. In the bottom-left corner, a key labeled "Reference to Figures" lists prominent buildings and places, including hospitals, parks, and churches, with key locations marked with numbers for easy reference. Notable landmarks include City Hall, Baltimore & Ohio Depot, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Mount Vernon Place, highlighting central civic, religious, and cultural sites. The map prominently features Baltimore s harbor, a critical economic asset, showing the layout along the Patapsco River with docks and industrial areas important for shipping and commerce, and labeling the Northwest Branch and Middle Branch of the river. In the upper-right section, Clifton Park is clearly labeled, a significant green space and recreational area, while the map also shows Baltimore s urban sprawl expanding outward from the city center, with residential neighborhoods and industrial zones near the harbor. Baltimore's critical railway lines are marked, particularly the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, with various depots connecting the city to other regions, essential for trade and transportation. The straight, regular streets suggest the presence of early public transportation like streetcar lines. The map uses a precise grid system with letters (A-I) along the top and numbers (1-9) along the left side for navigation, and yellow shading for dense urban areas, with other color variations representing industrial, commercial, or sparsely populated areas. This map was likely intended for general urban navigation, helping residents and visitors understand the city's infrastructure, key buildings, and major transportation routes during a time of rapid growth due to industrialization and trade. Overall, the 1888 map illustrates a rapidly developing Baltimore, showcasing the importance of its harbor, expanding urban grid, and key landmarks that defined the city at the time. .NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: This is a GENUINE ANTIQUE VINTAGE 1880s MAP.
