About this map

Rock Creek and the Northwest Branch carve through this Montgomery County landscape, which shows the suburban transition of the Maryland countryside at the close of the war. While established towns like Kensington and Garrett Park are clearly defined by their street grids along the Baltimore and Ohio RR, the surrounding area is a mix of agricultural legacies and emerging institutions. Significant federal footprints are visible at the Naval Medical Center and the National Institute of Health in the south, contrasting with the scattered crossroads settlements and family cemeteries to the north.
