Aerial photos - 1952-1953

This map, and those that follow, provide links to the aerial images made of Baltimore county and City in 1952/1953. Click on a quadrant to bring up an index map. The intersection of the 4 quadrants is approximately where the fairgrounds is.

The index page that is then shown is a composite made by overlaying all the individaul photes and making a single photo of the whole. Since they are all overlapped starting with the NE corner on the bottom, only the NE corner of each photo is visible, for about 1/4 if each photo. This makess an index to all the images in the database at the state archives, of which some are mssing.

Select whether you want a .jpg (~12 MB) or .tif (~115 MB) file. Then click on the desired area of the index page. You can reduce (or expand) its size by clicking Control/- or Control/+. If a photo you want is missing from the state database or not clear, you can generally find the area you want by opening the photo to the N, NE, of E of it.
