2011 Map of Frederick

About this map

The Monocacy River and its numerous tributaries, including Tuscarora Creek, Carroll Creek, and Ballenger Creek, define the topography of this Maryland landscape. In the early 21st century, the area surrounding the city of Frederick exhibits a complex pattern of suburban growth, with established residential enclaves like Yellow Springs and Hansonville bordered by modern developments such as Cloverview and Indian Springs. The presence of Fort Detrick in the central portion of the map indicates the significant military and research footprint in the region. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, ranging from the large Mount Olivet Cemetery to smaller locations like Zion Cemetery and Brook Hill Cemetery. Historical transport and river crossings are well-documented, evidenced by the named Biggs Ford and Crums Ford on the river, alongside the industrial site of the Frederick Quarry.
