1944 Map of Walkersville

Water infrastructure is a prominent feature of this survey, anchored by the Walkersville Reservoir on the slopes of Chestnut Grove and the Frederick Filtration Plant situated along the banks of the Monocacy River. Small crossroads settlements like McKaig, New London, and Daysville are connected by a network of roads that wind through the drainage basins of Linganore Creek and Israel Creek, providing a detailed look at the settlement patterns of central Maryland before post-war suburban expansion.
