BALTIMORE, a city and seaport, and the metropolis of Maryland, U.S.A., the
7th city in population in the United States. It is at the head of
tide-water on the Patapsco river and its middle and north-west branches
where they form an estuary 12 m. from the entrance of their waters into
Chesapeake Bay, in lat. 39deg 17' N. and long. 76deg 37' W., about 172 m.
by water from the Atlantic Ocean, 40 m. by rail N.W. from Washington, 26 m.
N. by W. from Annapolis, 97 m. S.W. from Philadelphia, and 184 m. from New
York. Pop. (1890) 434,439; (1900) 508,957 of whom 79,258 were negroes, and
68,600 foreign-born (of these 33,208 were natives of Germany, 10,493 of
Russia, 9690 of Ireland, 2841 of England, 2811 of Poland, 2321 of Bohemia
and 2042 of Italy); (1910, census) 558,485. It is served by the Baltimore &
Ohio, the Philadelphia, Baltimore & Washington (the Pennsylvania system),
the Baltimore & Annapolis Short Line, the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic;
the Northern Central; the Western Maryland and the Maryland & Pennsylvania
railways; and by steamship lines running directly to all the more important
ports on the Atlantic coast of the United States, to ports in the West
Indies and Brazil, to London, Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol, Leith,
Glasgow, Dublin, Belfast, Havre, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Bremen, Hamburg and
other European ports.

The city extends nearly 6-1/2 m. from E. to W., and except on the W. side a
little more than 5 m. from N. to S., covering an area of about 32 sq. m.
The ground on which it is built is for the most part gently rolling;
originally some portions were swampy and others were marked by precipitous
heights, but the swamps have been drained and filled and the heights
rounded off. Jones's Falls, a small stream shut in between granite walls
several feet in height, crosses the N. boundary line a short distance W. of
its middle, flows S.E. to the S.E. corner of the main business quarter, and
there meets the north-west branch of the Patapsco, in which lies the
harbour, defended at its entrance by the historic Fort McHenry, built at
the S.E. extremity of Locust Point, an irregular peninsula extending S.E.,
on which are grain-ele
