Plan of the City of Baltimore, compiled from actual survey

This is a digital image of the original map held by Johns Hopkins Libraries as Hackerman Collection #78. One of the Baltimore's most important early publishers, Fielding Lucas Jr. printed maps, atlases, primers, and drawing books. The city's booming population growth can be traced in the placard beneath the compass rose. The hand-coloring and numbers designate administrative wards across the city blocks. Vacant spaces are left blank, while built up areas are shaded. Also note the growing set of indexed buildings and the Baltimore and Ohio rail line running through the city.1 map; colored; 49 x 66 cm.
