Olmsted Brothers, 1903, detail of park plan for Baltimore encompassing Stony Run Park between West Cold Spring Lane and Belvedere and Northern Parkway, identifying the entrance to the park at the end of Oakdale Road in Roland Park. Stony Run Park now encompasses the bed of the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad. Image taken from the map appendix to the 1987 reprint of the Report from the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore by Olmsted Brothers, 1904, published by the Friends of Maryland's Olmsted Parks & Landscapes, with annotations by Edward Papenfuse, 2021.
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
