Baltimore
Baltimore exhibits a diverse topography that plays a significant role in its character and development. Situated along the Patapsco River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay, the city is positioned on the fall line that separates the Piedmont Plateau to the west from the Atlantic Coastal Plain to the east. This geographic setting results in varying elevations, with the harbor area at sea level and some neighborhoods reaching heights of approximately 480 feet (150 meters) in the northwest, particularly near Pimlico. The terrain features rolling hills and valleys, contributing to the city's scenic vistas and the fertile land that supports urban green spaces. Overall, Baltimore's topography combines urban development with natural landscapes, creating a unique environment that reflects both its historical significance and modern character.
