HOME PEOPLE PLACES THINGS SPECIALS Cartoon Map of Baltimore Some were born here, some died here, and some lived here during an important period of time. They all called Baltimore home at one time or another. Over the years Baltimoreans have made countless contributions to the arts, sciences, and popular culture. Others improved the fabric of the city through their work and good deeds. Cartoonist and writer Tom Chalkley created a cartoon map of prominent, famous, indispensable and highly interesting Baltimoreans. The map includes 176 caricatures of Baltimoreans past and present, as well as 40 landmark buildings. You can click on a section of the map for a full-size view, and from there links to biographical information for each person. A list of all people depicted on the map is below the image, along with others who didn’t make the the map this time. A full-size poster of Chalkley’s cartoon map — signed by the artist — is available online here.
