2019 Map of Winfield

About this map

Parrs Ridge and Timber Ridge form the elevated spine of this landscape in south-central Carroll County, where the headwaters of numerous streams diverge. The drainage of Morgan Run, Piney Run, and Gillis Falls creates a dissected terrain that historically dictated the placement of early settlements and roads. Small community centers such as Taylorsville, Winfield, and Dennings are situated along the higher ground, often centered around long-standing religious sites like Sams Creek Church of the Brethren and its associated cemetery. This 2019 survey documents a transition from traditional rural patterns to modern infrastructure, where local aviation fields like Woodbine Airport and Clearview Airpark operate alongside historic crossroads. The map reveals a high density of family and church burial grounds, including Salem Cem and Evans Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this part of Maryland.
