2016 Map of Winfield

About this map

Parrs Ridge and Timber Ridge define the rolling agricultural and residential landscape of this Carroll County region during the mid-2010s. The map illustrates a network of established crossroads and small communities, from the larger hub of Eldersburg in the southeast to historic points like Taylorsville, Winfield, and Franklinville. A high density of rural burial sites, such as Saint James Cem, Bethany Cem, and Shiloh Cem, provides valuable data for genealogical researchers tracing families across the Maryland countryside. The area's connection to regional aviation is evident through several landing strips, including Clearview Airpark, Walters Airport, and Woodbine Airport. Waterways like Gillis Falls, Piney Run, and Sams Cr carve through the terrain, with recreation areas like the Gillis Ridge Trail and Creekside Trail highlighting the preservation of open space amidst the region's steady development.
