1952 Map of Poolesville

About this map

The Potomac River forms a dominant natural boundary in this 1952 revision, carving through a landscape defined by 19th-century transport networks and small farming communities. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parallels the river, featuring the engineering landmark of the Monocacy Aqueduct where the Monocacy River joins the Potomac. To the east, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor supports the growth of Dickerson and Barnesville, with Barnesville Sta serving as a vital link for the local agricultural economy.
