About this map

Catoctin Mountain defines the western horizon of this survey, where High Knob and Sevenfoot Rock rise above the wooded slopes of Gambrill State Park. The urban core of Frederick shows significant 1970s expansion, with residential growth surrounding historic institutions such as Hood College, Visitation Academy, and the State School For the Deaf. The city is a hub of transport and infrastructure, evidenced by the convergence of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads and the activity around the Municipal Airport.
