2016 Map of Frederick

About this map

Frederick and the Monocacy River valley are shown here during a period of modern expansion, where the dense city center transitions into suburban developments like Ballenger Creek and Clover Hill. The map highlights a significant concentration of cultural and educational institutions, including Hood College and Mt Saint Mary's University, alongside the expansive grounds of the Monocacy National Battlefield to the south. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Catoctin Mountain and High Knob, creating a distinct topographical boundary that has historically funneled transportation along the Old National Pike and Baltimore National Pike. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the landscape, from the prominent Mount Olivet Cemetery to smaller family and parish sites like Saint John's Catholic Cemetery and the Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Indian Springs.
