2017 Map of Funkstown

About this map

Antietam Creek meanders through the heart of Washington County, anchoring a landscape where modern infrastructure meets 18th and 19th-century history. The waterway passes notable landmarks like the geologic formation at Devils Backbone and several historic industrial sites, including Kline Mill and Doubs Mill. These mills, along with crossroads settlements like Benevola and Breathedsville, reflect the area's deep-rooted agricultural and milling heritage. In the southeast, the terrain shifts significantly as the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the slopes of Short Hill near the town of Boonsboro. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Mount Lena Graveyard to the Manor Cem and the Funkstown Public Cem. The map illustrates how late 20th-century expansion from Hagerstown and Robinwood integrates with established communities like Lappans and Mapleville.
