Mapping “Eat, Drink & Be Merry in Maryland”

ByKara

Hopefully the first of several recipe maps on Old Line Plate, I’ve put the 512 recipes in “Eat, Drink & Be Merry in Maryland” on a map. A lot are just pinned to counties, but if you zoom in you can also view recipes connected to specific locations like hotels, steamship ports, and manors.  The Maryland Historical Trust Medusa map has been instrumental in locating some of these places. Links to MHT documents included when possible.

Let me know what you think – the eventual plan is to map all of the recipes posted on this site but it could take awhile to pinpoint some of the locations!
