2011 Map of Poolesville

About this map

Poolesville serves as the focal point for this Montgomery County landscape, where the confluence of the Potomac River and Monocacy River defines the geography. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural character of the region, featuring historical crossings such as Whites Ford and Furnace Ford, alongside the engineering of the Monocacy Aqueduct. The area preserves deep local roots through established settlements like Dickerson, Barnesville, and Beallsville, each with its own post office or local cemetery. Farther inland, names such as Elizabeths Delight, Jerusalem, and Jonesville hint at early land tracts and community centers. The map also captures modern land use, from the National Institute of Health Animal Farm near Elmer to the residential growth in Wesmond and Seneca Chase, while maintaining large agricultural footprints like Lewis Orchards and the Potomac Riverside Farm.
