GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE

Maryland is one of the Eastern states, bordering on the Atlantic Ocean, about midway between the northern and southern boundaries of the country. It lies between latitudes 37 ° 53' and 39 ° 44', and between the longitudes of 75 ° 04' and 79° 33'. Its neighbors are Pennsylvania on the north. West Virginia and Virginia the west and south, and Delaware on the east. Its northern boundary is Mason and Dixon's line, and its east boundary is, in part, a nearly north-south line separating it from Delaware and Pennsylvania, and, in part the Atlantic Ocean. On the south the boundary is an irregular line across the peninsula separating Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean; then across Chesapeake Bay to the southern point of the entrance to Potomac River; thence following the low water line on the south bank of the Potomac to the head of the north branch of that river at a point known as Fairfax Stone, excepting the area of the District of Columbia. The west boundary is a meridian drawn through Fairfax Stone northward to Mason and Dixon's line.

The gross area of the State, including that part of Chesapeake Bay in its borders, the broad estuaries at the mouths of the rivers, and the lagoons on the Atlantic coast is 12,210 square miles, of which 9,860 square miles are land area.

The topography of the State is extremely varied ranging from level lands, but slightly elevated above the sea, to mountains and plateaus in the western part of the State, 3,000 feet in altitude. The peninsula east of Chesapeake Bay and a narrow strip west of that body of water constitute what is known as the Coastal Plain. This has an area of 5,000 square miles, or more than one- half of the land area of the State. The peninsula is very low and level, nowhere rising 100 feet above tide, and much of it, especially near the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay is marshy. The Atlantic coast is bordered by sand bars, including broad lagoons of shallow water on their landward side. On the west side of Chesapeake Bay the Coastal Plain reaches an altitude of 300 feet in places, and shows much relief. Of the twenty-three counties of the State, the following are comprised in the Coastal Plain: Worcester, Somerset, Wicomico Dorchester, Caroline, Talbot, Queen Anne, Kent, and Cecil, on the peninsula, and Prince George, Charles, Calvert, St. Mary, and Anne Arundel west of Chesapeake Bay.

Along a line running through Havre de Grace, Baltimore, and Washington the granitic rocks rise to the surface. Thin is called the "fall line," from the fact that streams have rapid, or falls where they flow across the first hard ledges. West of this line granite or allied rocks predominate, while east of it, on the Coastal Plain, arc soft Cretaceous and Tertiary formations. This region extends from the fall line to the Blue Ridge and has an area of about 2,500 square miles. It is known as the Piedmont Plateau and comprises the following counties: Montgomery, Howard, Baltimore, Harford, Carroll, and Frederick. This region presents much more relief and is higher than the Coastal Plain.

The third zone, that of the Appalachian Mountains, extends from the Blue Ridge to the west boundary of the State, and has an area of about 2,000 square miles. It includes the counties of Washington, Allegany, and Garrett. In the main this region consists of an alternation of valleys and mountain ridges, the latter rising to altitudes of which exceed 2,000 and 3,000 feet. In the western part, mainly in Garrett County, is a plateau with a rolling surface 2,500 feet above sea level.

The mean elevation of the State is estimated at 350 feet. The areas in different zones of altitude are as follows:

Elevations in Maryland

Sea level to 100 feet7,400
100 to 500 feet2,000
500 to 1,000 feet1,700
1,000 to 1,500 feet300
1,500 to 2,000 feet410
2,000 to 3,000 feet400

Maryland was first settled in 1634 under a charter to Lord Baltimore settlement being made at St. Marys. It was one of the thirteen original States, having- adopted the Constitution on April 28, 1788. In 1791 the State ceded to the General Government for the purposes of a capital an area of about 70 square miles, which constitutes the present District of Columbia. The following table shows the growth of population in the State from the first census in 1790 to the latest in 1900

In 1730 [sic] Maryland was the sixth State in the Union in population. In 1900, although its inhabitants were 3.7 times as numerous, it had dropped to the twenty-sixth in rank, owing to the rapid growth of the newer States in the Mississippi Valley. In 1900 the average density of population was 120 persons to the square mile. It has give cities which exceed 6000 inhabitants, of which Baltimore has over half a million. The other four are as follows: Cumberland, 17,128; Hagerstown, 13,591; Frederick, 9,296; and Annapolis, the capital, 8,025. These five cities contain 46.9 per cent of the population of the entire State. In cities of more. than 2,500 inhabitants live 48.8 per cent, or nearly one-halt the population of the State, while the. remainder, 51.2 per cent, may ho regarded as rural. In 1900 the population was divided almost equally between the two sexes, 49.6 per cent being males and 50.4 per cent being females. The negro population, though large for a border State, is diminishing in proportion to the whites. In 1900 the whites formed 80.2 per cent and the Negro's 19.8 per cent, or nearly one-fifth of the population. The number of foreign-born inhabitants was also small, the persons of native birth forming 512.1 per cent, while those boar in foreign countries were 7.9 per cent. Immigration from other States has not been large, since it is found that of the native population 13 per cent were bore in other States.

For a State containing so large a proportion of negroes, the illiteracy is slight. In 1900, persons of 10 years of age and upward who were unable to read and write constituted 11.1 per cent of the population. The illiterates comprised only 4.1 per cent of the native whites over 10 yearn old, 13.4 per cent of the foreign born, and 35.1 per cent of the negroes.

Of the population, 15 years old and upward, 37.9 per cent were single; 52.9 per cent married; 8.5 per cent widowed; 0.2 per cent, divorced; and the conjugal condition of the remainder was unknown, The average size of a family was 4.9 persons, being somewhat larger than the average. for the country.

Of persons 10 years old and upward, practically one-half, or exactly 49.8 per cent, were engaged in gainful occupations. Of males, 79.0 per cent were wage earners; of female, 21.0 per cent. The following table shows the proportion of the wage-earners employed in each of the five general classes of occupations:

Agriculture is one of the leading occupations. In 1900 the State contained 46,021 farms, of which seven-eighths were occupied by white farmers and one-eighth by negro farmers. Two-thirds of the farms were owned by their occupant,, and one-third were rented, either for money rental or on shares of the products. The farms had a total area of 5,170,07.5 acres. The cultivated area amounted to 3,516,352 acres, or more than two-thirds of the farm area and 55.7 per cent of the total area of the State. The average size of the farms was 112.4 acres, being considerably less than the average for the United States. The total value of all the farms, was $204,645,407, which was made up of the following item;

The product amounted to 21.0 per cent of the, value of the farms, and may be regarded as the farming profit. The following table shown the amount of live stock in the State:

The railway mileage in the .State in 1902 was 1,383 miles, most of which was in the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania systems. Them is one canal, the Chesapeake and Ohio, which follows Potomac River from Cumberland to Washington, D. C., and is principally used for the transportation of coal from the Cumberland district.

The principal and almost sole mineral product of the Mate is coal, which is mined in large quantities in the neighborhood of Cumberland. It is a bituminous coal of excellent quality. In 1901 the amount mined was 5,113,127 tons.
