The archdiocese covers Baltimore and nine counties in central and western Maryland: Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, Harford, Howard, and Washington.
The cathedral church of the archdiocese is the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, consecrated in Baltimore in 1959. The archdiocese also includes the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in Baltimore between 1806 and 1863, based on a design by Benjamin Henry Latrobe.
As the home to the first American-born saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, the archdiocese also includes several sites associated with her life and works:
- National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, the site of Seton's tomb
- Lower chapel at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, where Seton gave her vows of chastity and poverty in 1808
- Mother Seton House at St. Mary's Seminary, where she lived from 1808 to 1809.
