About this map

The Potomac River defines the western edge of this Montgomery County landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park preserves a critical corridor of regional transportation history. This 2016 survey illustrates a cluster of well-established crossroads communities including Beallsville, Dickerson, and Barnesville, each connected by a network of historic thoroughfares like Dickerson Rd and Beallsville Rd. The town of Poolesville serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller settlements such as Jerusalem and Jonesville.

Tracing the waterways reveals the confluence of the Monocacy River and the Potomac, punctuated by landmarks like Furnace Ford. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of several burying grounds, notably Monocacy Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Saint Marys Catholic Cem. From the banks of Broad Run to the islands of the Potomac like Nolands Island and Cox Island, the map documents the persistent agricultural and small-town character of this Maryland Piedmont region.
