1950 Map of Winfield

About this map

Parrs Ridge serves as the topographic spine for this 1950 survey of central Maryland, where the boundary between Frederick and Carroll Counties follows the waterway of Sams Creek. The landscape is characterized by a network of rural settlements and crossroads, including Winfield, Taylorsville, and Dennings. Many of these small communities developed around primary intersections, such as Dorsey Crossroads and Picketts Corner, reflecting a mid-century agricultural economy tied to local road networks rather than heavy industry.
