In 1935 the City of Baltimore published a base map for the city which was used by Edward Bennett Mathews, the State Geologist, to indicate the amount of Overburden covering the underlying rocks. The first three images on the left are taken from high definition images available from the John Hopkins University on line map collection. The image on the far right is from an original privately owned which appears on the website rolandparkhistory.org
