Text: Mary E. Phillips, “Poe Plan of Baltimore, Maryland,” Edgar Allan Poe: The Man (1926), inside back cover of vol. I

This “Poe Plan of Baltimore, MD” appears on the inner rear cover of volume 1, where it is printed in dark blue ink (to match the color of the outer covers). Because this electronic reproduction is necessarily somewhat smaller, the list of places identified has been repeated below (with a few of her abbreviations expanded). A grid has also been added, with letters on the top and number to the right, to supplement Miss Phillips’ scheme of identifying locations by number. Imaginary vertical grid lines run directly through the middle of the space between the letters, and horizontal ones run directly through the middle of the space between numbers. In some cases, locations fall very close to these imaginary boundards, and grid assignments are thus necessarily imprecise. The following list is taken from the block in the lower left corner:
