About this map

Antietam National Battlefield Site and the surrounding Maryland countryside are meticulously documented here, showing the enduring geography of one of the Civil War's most significant sites. The map centers on the winding course of Antietam Creek as it moves toward the Potomac River, cutting through a landscape of ridges and gaps. Local history and genealogy are preserved through dozens of markers, from the Antietam Nat Cem and Mumma Cem to the specific placements of the Mansfield Monument and Hawkins Zouaves Monument.

Beyond the battlefield, the late-20th-century character of small agricultural and residential centers like Rohrersville, Keedysville, and Burkittsville is clear. The rugged eastern edge is defined by South Mountain and the Appalachian Trail, while the southwestern corner follows the historical path of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Between these landmarks, local landmarks like Crystal Grottoes and Eakles Mills highlight the region's unique geology and early industry.
