Fort George G. Meade: The First 100 Years

Recommendations

Info

The Land WORLD WAR I YEARS 15 Thousands of the acres purchased for the camp were farmland, fruit orchards, wetlands and woods owned by local families including Disney, Friedhofer, Downs, Phelps, Wagner, Plummer, Clark, Warfield, Sauerhammer and Harmon. The proximity to multiple railroads, the port of Baltimore and the nation’s capital made the location attractive to war planners. (Left) The map dated Oct. 15, 1919, shows the plat boundaries, acreage and names of the people who owned the land that became Camp Meade. During the summer of 1917 U.S. government real estate agents negotiated payments for the land with the various owners. (Below) A map provided to service members on the installation.
