USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The eponymous Catoctin Furnace settlement anchors this landscape, where the steep wooded slopes of Catoctin Mountain meet the agricultural valleys of Frederick County. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Bobs Hill and High Knob, which dominate the western half of the map within the Cunningham Falls State Park and the City of Frederick Municipal Forest. To the north, the town of Thurmont serves as a local hub, situated where the Western Maryland railroad passes toward Graceham.
