About this map

The Potomac River corridor and its historic island chain, including Nolands Island and Mason Island, dominate the western edge of this Montgomery County landscape. In the mid-1990s, the rural character of the region is preserved through significant parklands such as the C & O Canal National Historic Park, where the historic Towpath traces the riverbank. The map reveals a cluster of agricultural and residential hubs, from the larger town of Poolesville to smaller crossroad settlements like Beallsville and Dickerson.

Industry and transport are represented by the CSX Transportation rail line passing through Sellman, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Monocacy Cem and St Marys Ch. The presence of the National Institutes of Health Animal Center near Elmer highlights the area's specialized land use, contrasting with the preservation at Dickerson State Conservation Park and the Monocacy State Natural Resources Area.
