1945 Map of Sandy Spring

About this map

Olney and the surrounding Maryland countryside reflect a period of significant suburban evolution in this mid-century record, updated with late-1970s land use data. The expansion of residential patterns is visible near Brookeville and Sandy Spring, where traditional rural clusters began meeting modern infrastructure. Educational and community institutions anchor the landscape, including Sherwood High Sch, Sandy Spring Sch, and the Montgomery County General Hospital.

Natural features define the northern and eastern reaches, dominated by the Triadelphia Reservoir on the Patuxent River, which forms the boundary with Howard County. To the west, the Hawlings River and its many tributaries like Reddy Branch and James Creek wind through the terrain. The presence of Camp Bennett and large recreational spaces like Patuxent River State Park and Hawlings Hills Park illustrates the region's preservation of open space amidst the encroaching development of the Washington metropolitan corridor.
