The Maryland Map Collection is an online database that can be used to search and browse maps from the Maryland Collection, located in Hornbake Library.

Some selected maps have been digitized and are available online. Maps that have not be digitized may be viewed in the Maryland Room.

Use the browse maps option, located just below the search box, to sort maps according to cities/towns, counties, countries, states, MD regional, railroads, and waterways. The Chesapeake Bay is located under the waterways category.
You may also sort search results according to year, title, or available image. Simply click on the appropriate subject heading to sort.
