2016 Map of Catoctin Furnace

About this map

Catoctin Mountain Park dominates the western half of this Frederick County landscape, where the high elevations of Catoctin Mtn give way to the Piedmont below. The historic industrial site at Catoctin Furnace marks the transition from the forested heights of Bobs Hill to the agricultural valley floor. In the southeast, the Monocacy River flows near Utica, where the Utica Covered Bridge remains a notable landmark. The map details a complex network of mountain runs, including High Run and Little Hunting Cr, which feed into the Fishing Cr Reservoir. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the highway corridor, connecting Thurmont in the north with Lewistown and Mountaindale to the south. This modern survey captures the enduring presence of family and community history through numerous burial sites like Mount Prospect Hill Cem and Saint Pauls Cem.
