2014 Map of Buckeystown

About this map

The Monocacy River winds through the heart of this Frederick County landscape, where the Monocacy National Battlefield preserves the site of significant Civil War history. To the south, the Potomac River forms the natural boundary, accompanied by the C & O Canal National Historical Park and Nolands Island. This area is defined by a dense network of early settlements and family landmarks, from the industrial heritage of Michaels Mill and Lime Kiln to established communities like Buckeystown and Adamstown. The geography is further marked by the Culpeper Basin and the prominent rise of Sugar Loaf Mtn in the southeast. Genealogists can find several burial grounds, including Saint Matthews Cem, Koontz Cem, and Saint Josephs Carrollton Manor Cem, while the B & O RR corridor provides a clear view of the region's historical transport infrastructure.
