You can find 1836, 1863 and 1935 maps of the City here: http://www.mdslavery.net/html/mapped_images/bacmap.html All show the election Ward boundaries, but not the Enumeration Districts. Early Censuses (like 1820) did not have Enumeration Districts. You can also try the State Archives, Baltimore City Archives, Library of Congress, and other web sites. These and other places have detailed historic maps of Baltimore, some of which show the Ward boundaries. If all else fails, you can use Steve Morse's ED Finder tool at: http://stevemorse.org/ed/ed.php?year=1880&state=MD&keywords=&county=Baltimore This searches the ED boundary descriptions. You can change the census year at the top. Pick the city and state and then enter key cross streets near your address, separated by a comma. This usually narrows to a couple EDs. Use with a map to see which one contains your address. Remember that house numbers before 1887 were different than today. I can help you with that if you need it. Lastly, if you have a specific address and post it, I can probably identify the Ward it was in, especially before 1900. I've collected many maps and don't know exactly where I got them all.
