About this map

Antietam National Battlefield and its hallowed landmarks, such as Dunker Church and the Antietam National Cem, dominate the northwestern portion of this terrain. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Antietam Creek, which passes beneath historic crossings like Porterstown Bridge and the Lower Bridge. In the south, the Potomac River corridor features the Antietam Creek Aqueduct within the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park.

Settlement patterns follow the ridges and valleys of Elk Ridge and the Blue Ridge, with small communities like Keedysville, Rohrersville, and Boonsboro serving as local hubs. Genealogists will find numerous family-associated sites, including the Mumma Cem, Fairview Cem, and the Mount Carmel Graveyard. The eastern edge is marked by the high elevation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it traverses Lambs Knoll and Crampton Gap.
