1953 Map of Catoctin Furnace

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Catoctin Mountain dominates the western half of this 1950s terrain study, its heavily forested slopes designated as the Catoctin Recreational Demonstration Area. This upland wilderness, marked by rocky outcrops like Bear Cat Rock and Bobs Hill, contrasts sharply with the agricultural valley to the east. Along the mountain's edge, the historic settlement of Catoctin Furnace sits near the Western Maryland railroad line, which served the industrial and agricultural interests of the region.
