2019 Map of Kensington

About this map

Rock Creek and the Northwest Branch Anacostia River define the suburban layout of Montgomery County in this detailed 2019 survey. The area is characterized by a dense network of residential developments and established communities such as Norbeck, Rossmoor, and the senior-living enclave of Leisure World. This modern record reveals the preservation of significant local heritage through its cemeteries, including the Bonifant Family Cemetery and the Beall Cemetery, which remain surrounded by later growth. The topography is shaped by the Rock Creek Valley and the recreational waters of Lake Bernard Frank, illustrating how mid-to-late 20th-century urban expansion integrated with the region's natural drainage systems. Notable local landmarks like the Parklawn Memorial Park and Menorah Gardens and the Burnt Mills Village area highlight the transition from early rural holdings to the current integrated landscape of Maryland's capital suburbs.
