2011 Map of Union Bridge

About this map

Union Bridge serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in northern Maryland, where the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Big Pipe Creek and Little Pipe Creek. The area maintains a high density of small settlements and named landmarks that reflect a long history of milling and rural community life, evidenced by locations like Crouse Mill and Otterdale Mill. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial grounds such as the Pipe Creek Friends Cemetery and German Baptist Cemetery, alongside traditional community centers like Middleburg and Johnsville. The presence of the MRP Airpark near Middleburg and residential clusters like Bellevue Heights show the modern evolution of these historic crossroads. Waterways like Sams Creek and Beaver Dam Creek continue to dictate the placement of local roads and property lines as they have for generations.
