About this map

Antietam National Battlefield dominates the western portion of this topographic survey, preserving the landscape of one of the Civil War's most pivotal moments. Historic landmarks such as The Cornfield Ave, Mumma Cem, and Snavelys Ford are meticulously documented, offering a detailed spatial record of the conflict's geography. To the east, the terrain rises toward Elk Ridge and Blue Ridge, where the residential patterns of Rohrersville, Keedysville, and Burkittsville appear against the backdrop of gaps and springs.

In the south, the Potomac River forms a natural border, paralleled by the engineering of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The map reveals a high concentration of small, family-named cemeteries and rural settlements like Eakles Mill and Zittlestown that reflect the deep-rooted agricultural and milling history of Washington County. Key transportation corridors, including the path through Crampton Gap, illustrate the historic movement between the mountains and the river valley.
