2019 Map of Myersville

About this map

South Mountain and Catoctin Mtn frame this corridor of rural Frederick County, where small agricultural settlements and family burial grounds are connected by the historic National Pike. The town of Myersville sits at the southern edge, while the surrounding valley is dotted with hamlets like Wolfsville, Ellerton, and Jerusalem. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where modern recreation on the Appalachian National Scenic Trail intersects with deep-rooted local history, evidenced by numerous private and congregational burial sites such as Grossnickles Cem and the Summers Family Cem. The terrain is defined by watercourses like Little Catoctin Cr and Middle Cr flowing through prominent gaps like Black Rock Gap. On the western ridge, Monument Knob overlooks the valley, marking a significant point of elevation along the county boundary.
