About this map

The eponymous Catoctin Furnace serves as a focal point for this Frederick County landscape, where industrial heritage meets the rising elevations of the mountain range. To the south, the Lewistown State Fish Hatchery and Fishing Creek Reservoir highlight the region's managed water resources, supported by the Fishing Creek Dam. This 2011 survey documents a diverse array of small settlements and residential enclaves, from Graceham and Jimtown in the northeast to Mountaindale, Lewistown, and Utica further south.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Graceham Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cemetery. Significant landmarks like the Utica Covered Bridge and the Foxville Lookout Tower are clearly marked, alongside various family farms such as Tranquility Farm and Findale Farms. The terrain is characterized by distinctive summits and overlooks, including Poplar Knob, Bobs Hill, and White Rocks, overlooking the winding courses of Big Hunting Creek and the Monocacy River.
