About this map

Urbana and its surrounding Maryland countryside are defined by a mix of historic rural settlements and modern residential expansion. The landscape is segmented by significant watercourses including Bush Creek, Bennett Creek, and the southern Little Bennett Creek. Local infrastructure is anchored by small aviation facilities like the Stolcrest Stolport and Flying M Farms Airport, while civic life is reflected in the numerous burial grounds such as Zion Cemetery and the Friends Cemetery near Monrovia.

South of the main settlement, the Urbana Dam creates Chevy Chase Lake, a notable feature in this rolling terrain. The map records several established community clusters, from Ijamsville and Hyattstown to smaller locales like Reels Mill and Thurston. These names, alongside family-labeled tracts like the Land of Promise, trace the long-standing agricultural and social heritage of this Frederick County region before the further encroachment of the suburban corridor.
