Before and After Shots of South Baltimore Developments with Google Maps’ New Satellite View

Google Maps updated its ‘satellite’ view of Baltimore City in the winter. To show development progress that has taken place in different parts of South Baltimore over the recent years, SouthBMore.com took screenshots of overhead images from Apple Maps that appear to be from 2017.

To note, the under-construction projects have progressed quite a bit since the new Google Maps ‘satellite’ view.
