1957 Map of Piscataway

About this map

Piscataway Creek and Mattawoman Creek define the landscape of southern Prince George's County in this mid-century survey. The area maintains a rural, agrarian character with numerous small communities and named hills, such as Burch Hill, dotting the terrain. Long-established crossroads like Piscataway, with its St Marys Ch, and Silesia serve as local anchors. The map reveals a transition toward mid-century residential development, evident in neighborhoods like Friendly Farms and Piscataway Hills, while maintaining historical sites such as Ashbury Ch and Zion Wesley Ch.
