About this map

Catoctin Mountain and the western ridges of Gambrill State Park dominate the landscape west of Frederick, where the mid-century city sits at the crossroads of the National Pike and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The map reveals a robust civic and institutional infrastructure, featuring the sprawling Camp Detrick and U S Military Reservation to the north, alongside centers of education and care like Hood College, the Visitation Academy, and the State School For the Deaf.
