About this map

Sugar Loaf Mtn. rises as a prominent landmark in this late 19th-century landscape, overlooking a network of trade and transit that defined central Maryland. The Potomac River serves as the southern artery, shadowed by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and dotted with historic crossings like Nolands Ferry and Edwards Ferry. This era shows the dominance of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., which links agricultural hubs such as Buckeystown and Adamstown to larger centers like Frederick and Rockville.
