About this map

Burlington anchors the northeast corner of this Carroll County landscape, where the town grid meets the winding course of Wildcat Cr. The surrounding area is defined by a dense network of water management features and small agricultural settlements, reflecting the region's long-standing drainage and farming history. Small communities like Geetingsville, Middlefork, and Lexington are spaced across the rural landscape, connected by a rectangular grid of county roads.

The hydrology of the quadrangle is remarkably detailed, tracing the flow of the Middle Fork Wildcat Cr and Hurricane Cr. A system of man-made and natural waterways, including Harness Ditch, Whiteman Ditch, and Robinson Br, illustrates how the land was engineered for agricultural productivity. Specific agricultural landmarks such as Shaffer Stock Farms provide concrete points of interest for those researching local land use and family holdings in the early 21st century.
