Posted on: BaltimoreCity County Md. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Md/BaltimoreCity/3074 Surname: ------------------------- these are census wards. they shift slightly over the decades. Also be advised that I believe this map is mislabeled and is from a much later period. If you look at the link, it is labeled 1869.jpg. I know that B'more was much smaller in 1848!!
