About this map

Monocacy National Battlefield anchors the northwest corner of this Maryland landscape, where the agricultural traditions of Frederick County meet the expanding suburban corridors of the mid-2010s. The geography is defined by the winding course of Bennett Cr and Little Bennett Cr, with the boundary between Frederick and Montgomery Counties cutting diagonally through the southern half. Established settlements like Urbana and Hyattstown are shown alongside smaller locales such as Fountain Mills and Kingsley.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across this quadrant, from the Urbana Cem and Zion Cem to the Sugar Loaf Mountain Chapel Cem in the south. The area’s diverse land use is evident in the proximity of the Great Heron Wetlands to local aviation facilities like Ijamsville Memorial Airport and Stolcrest Airport. Historical industry is remembered through place names like Reels Mill, while modern conservation is noted at Chevy Chase Lake.
