About this map

Big Pipe Creek and Sams Creek define the agrarian landscape of the Maryland borderlands, where the boundary between Carroll Co and Frederick Co meanders through a region of longstanding mill sites and small settlements. The importance of local milling and agriculture is preserved in labels for historic operations like Simpsons Mill, Crouse Mill, and McKinstrys Mill. These sites, along with farms like Walden Farms, reflect the area's transition from a heavy milling economy to modern rural life.
