2023 Map of Rockville

About this map

The Potomac River corridor and its storied Chesapeake and Ohio Canal define the southwestern edge of this modern landscape. This map documents a densely developed Maryland corridor where historic landmarks like the Montgomery County Circuit Courthouse stand alongside large institutional campuses such as Montgomery College - Rockville Campus. The transition from the urban centers of Rockville and Gaithersburg to the suburban enclaves of North Potomac and Travilah is mediated by significant parklands and water bodies, including Lake Needwood and the northern reaches of Rock Creek. Local history is anchored by sites like the Saint Gabriel Cem and the New Saint Mary's Catholic Church, providing vital points of reference for genealogists. The dramatic geography of Great Falls remains a focal point where the Virginia and Maryland border is shaped by the river's rocky islands, including Powhatan Island and Conn Island.
