1950 Map of Sandy Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Sandy Spring and the surrounding Maryland countryside appear in mid-century detail, revealing a landscape of established crossroads communities and developing infrastructure. The map highlights central institutions like the Montgomery County General Hospital and Sherwood High Sch, illustrating the area's growth as a hub for local services. To the east, the Triadelphia Reservoir is a dominant water feature, held by the Brighton Dam at the Patuxent River boundary between Montgomery and Howard counties.

Agricultural roots are evident in the scattered settlements of Olney, Brookeville, and Unity, connected by winding roads through the Hawlings River and North Branch Rock Creek watersheds. Local history and education are preserved through the locations of the Slade Sch and Sandy Spring Sch, alongside smaller hamlets like Sunshine and Mt Zion. The topography shows a transition from high ridges down to the creek beds, including Reddy Branch and Northwest Branch.
