I found a WWI Draft registration on quite a few of my ROYSTON, CAMERON, and other ancestral relatives. These are great, since they give dates of birth, places of birth, and on some of the forms, name/s of nearest relatives, addresses, employers, physical characteristics etc. But I need help on the above - his address on the Registration card looks like "Walkers Switch, Balto., Md." The date of his registration was 12 Sep 1918 at Local Board No. 1, Lutherville, Md. Can anyone help with this address or location in 1918? Any and all help appreciated.

THere is an 1915 atlas for baltimore Co. on-line, they are large downloads, I looked and did not see walkers switch on it. but I might have missed it. http://www.bcpl.net/~teri/Planning/1915Map.htm Lee
