2014 Map of Damascus

About this map

Damascus serves as the central hub of this northern Montgomery County landscape, where modern suburban growth meets the rural heritage of Maryland's Piedmont. The survey details a complex network of ridgelines and watercourses, including the headwaters of the Patuxent River and Little Bennett Creek. Historical continuity is visible through numerous burial sites like Marvin Chapel Cemetery and Montgomery Chapel Cemetery, alongside established landmarks such as Annapolis Rock. Transport corridors like the Old National Pike and MD-144 define the northern boundary, linking the area to regional trade routes. The map records a dense pattern of residential subdivisions like Fox Ridge Estates and Duvall Manor, illustrating the transition of former agricultural land into a series of interconnected residential communities during the early 21st century.
