Jones Falls River Valley

Some photographs I took today of the Jones Falls River Valley. This river/stream is the reason that Baltimore is where it is. In the early 1800's mills on the Jones Falls were the largest source of flour in the United States. Toward the middle 1800's the mills shifted to textile production, becoming the largest source of cotton duck in the world. All the mills are now closed, and this is what has been left behind.

All of the pictures are from today, except the first two that show where the Jones Falls empties into the Inner Harbor.
