1953 Map of Frederick
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Frederick serves as the focal point of this 1953 landscape, showing a period of significant mid-century transition. The city is anchored by institutional landmarks such as Hood College, the Maryland School For the Deaf, and the historic Visitation Academy. To the north, the footprint of Fort Detrick is prominently established, including its role as a Cancer Research Center. The geography is defined by the sharp rise of the mountains to the west, where Gambrill State Park and the Frederick Municipal Forest provide a stark contrast to the developing valley floor.
