About this map

Hampstead and its surrounding rural landscapes are captured here along the border of Carroll and Baltimore Counties. The area's settlement pattern follows the high ground of Hanover Pike, where towns like Upperco, Fowblesburg, and Boring developed as key stops between larger hubs. The landscape is deeply carved by watercourses, including Prettyboy Br and Blackrock Run, which historically powered local industry at sites like Trenton Mill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed locations of community landmarks, such as the Emory United Methodist Church Cem and Saint Johns Cem. The northern portion of the map shows the transition from the core of Hampstead to industrial and agricultural features, including the Black and Decker Manufacturing Company Reservoir and Hidden Hills Farm. This survey documents a region that maintains a balance between its milling heritage and its role as a residential corridor.
