1909 Map of Hagerstown
USGS Topo · Published 1909About this map
Antietam Creek snakes through a landscape defined by intense agricultural settlement and a burgeoning rail network at the edge of the Blue Ridge. The map detail highlights Hagerstown as a significant regional hub where the Norfolk and Western Ry, Cumberland Valley RR, and Western Maryland RR converge, driving the growth of surrounding villages like Funkstown and Chewsville. This early 20th-century survey provides a clear view of the rural social structure, marking numerous country schools such as Miller Chapel School and Near Eden School, alongside local religious centers like Monroe Chapel and Welty's Church. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into South Mountain and Catoctin Mountain, where landmarks like Quirauk Mountain and the resort area at Pen Mar overlook the fertile valley floor. The map also delineates civil districts, including No 13 Conococheague and No 6 Boonsboro, preserving the political geography of Washington County before modern development.
