1945 Map of Sandy Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Triadelphia Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, fed by the Patuxent River and Cattail Creek. The map documents a rural Maryland transitioning into a more structured suburban network, centered around established communities like Sandy Spring and Olney. In the south, institutions such as the Montgomery County General Hospital and Sherwood High Sch mark the area's growing social infrastructure. A series of smaller settlements, including Brookeville, Ashton, and Sunshine, are connected by a winding road network that follows the ridgelines between the Hawlings River and North Branch Rock Creek. For those tracing local genealogy or land use, the map provides precise locations for landmarks like Camp Bennett and several Cem sites tucked away in the wooded drainages.
