About this map

Antietam National Battlefield anchors the western portion of this region, preserving the site of one of the most significant engagements in American history. The landscape is marked by points of intense conflict like The Cornfield Ave and Bloody Lane Trail, as well as the Antietam National Cem. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward South Mountain, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail follows the ridge line through Crampton Gap.

Settlement patterns reveal a network of small communities and crossroads such as Keedysville, Rohrersville, and Burkittsville. Along the southern boundary, the Potomac River and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park trace the historical transportation corridor, featuring the Antietam Creek Aqueduct near Dargan. The map also details numerous family and community landmarks, including the Mount Carmel Graveyard and Mount Hebron Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of Washington and Frederick Counties.
