2019 Map of Poolesville

About this map

The Potomac River corridor dominates the landscape of this 2019 survey, where the river serves as a natural boundary between Maryland and Virginia. The northern reach of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park follows the river's curve, passing several large islands including Nolands Island and Mason Island. Inland, the rural character of Montgomery County is anchored by historic settlements like Poolesville and Beallsville, which are connected by a network of longstanding routes such as Whites Ferry Rd and Darnestown Rd. Evidence of the area's social and religious history is found at the Mount Pleasant Methodist Church Cem and the Saint Marys Catholic Cem. The CSX Transportation line cuts through the northeast, serving the community of Dickerson near the confluence where the Monocacy River joins the Potomac.
