1945 Map of Rockville
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Rockville serves as the central hub for this mid-1940s landscape, which illustrates the transition from rural Montgomery County farmlands to a burgeoning suburban and industrial corridor. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts a definitive path through the territory, connecting established communities like Derwood and Westmore to the county seat. To the south and west, the terrain is defined by the winding Potomac River and the then-inactive Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, with landmarks such as Swains Lock and Bealls I marking the river's edge.
