About this map

Frederick serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, shown as the city expanded westward toward the base of Catoctin Mountain. This era captures the transition of Camp Detrick from its wartime origins into a permanent U S Military Reservation, situated just northwest of the dense urban core. The city's cultural and civic landscape is well-defined, featuring prominent institutions such as Hood College, the Visitation Academy, and the State School For the Deaf.
