About this map

Antietam National Cem stands as a focal point in this portion of Washington County, marking the grounds of one of the Civil War's most significant battles. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Antietam Creek and the formidable ridgeline of South Mountain, where Crampton Gap provides a passage through the height. Small agricultural settlements like Keedysville, Rohrersville, and Burkittsville are connected by historical thoroughfares such as the Shepherdstown Pike and Old National Pike, tracing the development of the Maryland interior.

Industry and local life are grounded in features like Eakles Mill and the Rohrersville Station, while numerous small family and church burial grounds, including the Mumma Cem and Mount Carmel Graveyard, provide a dense record for genealogical research. The map also captures the legacy of the region's transport and outdoor history, from the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal along the Potomac River to the contemporary path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
