About this map

Potomac River crossings and historical land boundaries define this landscape at the border of Maryland and Virginia. The river corridor is dominated by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, where numerous islands such as Watkins Island and Clagett Island divide the waterway. On the Maryland side, the suburban expansion of Gaithersburg and North Potomac meets the preserved woodlands of Blockhouse Point and the Seneca Creek Greenway Trl.

Significant genealogical data is preserved through a high density of small burial grounds, including the Bicksler Family Cem near Leighs and the Walker Family Cem in Deanwood. These family plots, alongside established congregations like the Darnestown Presbyterian Church Cem, offer a map of 19th and 20th-century settlement patterns. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trl and major thoroughfares like River Rd and Leesburg Pike, which link the various community clusters.
