1965 Map of Rockville

About this map

Gaithersburg and Rockville anchor this 1960s-era snapshot of Montgomery County, a period defined by rapid suburban expansion. The sprawling campus of the U S Bureau of Standards dominates the northern landscape, while the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Rockville Pike corridor facilitate the dense residential growth seen in neighborhoods like Twinbrook and Westmore. To the west, the terrain transitions into more wooded and equestrian-focused estates near Hunting Hill and Potomac, where the Potomac River forms the southern boundary.
