This post is a collection of the new councilmanic district maps from around Maryland. It is an updated version of one of the most popular posts on Seventh State<\/a> with the 2010s maps. I have done my best to make sure that they are the new rather the old districts. I have been unable to locate the new Baltimore City, Garrett County, and Talbot County Council maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know where I can find them or if any of the maps here are incorrect, please let me know. It’s often hard to be completely sure which proposed maps have been adopted. Additionally, some of the new maps are exceedingly similar to the old ones. My hope is to put up a complete and corrected post in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maps here are organized by the type of electoral system used by the county starting with (1) elected at-large with district residency requirements followed by (2) elected entirely from districts, and (3) elected by a mixture of districts and at-large. Counties are listed alphabetically within each category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
