Two map colleagues passed along the request you sent to Maps-L. I understand you’re looking for an 1861 map of Baltimore City that provides railroad information. I didn’t find any maps in our digital or print collections dated 1861. For other maps around that time period, take a look at our scanned Baltimore maps at: https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/32585 Tiff and jpeg images are available for downloading. I did a quick look and here are some suggestions all with RR information: · Plan of Baltimore (1860) https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/32596 Note: Map covers central city only. · Map of Baltimore (1860) https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/33818 Note: From the 1860 Baltimore City Directory. · Map of Baltimore (1859) https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/32614 Note: From 1859 Baltimore City Directory · Map of Baltimore (1863) https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/33819 · Colton’s City of Baltimore (1855) https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/32608 · City Atlas of Baltimore, Maryland and Environs (1876) https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/32648 Note: Great details, first detailed atlas of Baltimore. Long way from 1861. Hope this provides some useful information. Let me know if you have any questions! Jim */James E. Gillispie/*** Head, Access Services & Govt.
