SPARROWS POINT - While there were a number of deserted
census tracts in Maryland for the 2000 census, the two homeless people
living in the shadow of the Bethlehem Steel plant made Census Tract 4522
the smallest occupied tract in the state. From Bear Creek and the
B&O Railroad, Tract 4522 is bounded by the B&O Railroad on the
north, North Point Boulevard and Sparrows Point Road on the east, and
the Patapsco River to the south and west.
