2019 Map of Damascus

About this map

Damascus sits at a multi-county crossroads where Frederick, Carroll, Howard, and Montgomery counties converge. This 2019 survey illustrates a landscape defined by historic ridge-top settlements and established transportation corridors like the Old National Pike. The area is notably dense with community institutions, including the Montgomery United Methodist Church Cem and Providence United Methodist Church Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for local family history. To the north, Mount Airy and Ridgeville anchor the Carroll County border, while the headwaters of the S Br Patapsco River, Patuxent River, and Great Seneca Cr begin their descent from these heights. The map captures the suburban character of Kings Valley and Cedar Heights alongside more rural enclaves such as Mullinix and Purdum, providing a comprehensive look at the region's modern layout while preserving the names of its earliest churchyards and settlements.
