1950 Map of Winfield
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Parrs Ridge dominates this Maryland landscape, serving as a prominent topographic divide where numerous watercourses like Cabbage Spring Branch and Gillis Falls begin their descent. This 1950 survey, with photogrammetric revisions from 1971, captures a rural crossroads economy in Carroll and Frederick Counties prior to significant suburban expansion. Small hamlets and named intersections define the social geography, including Taylorsville, Winfield, and Dorsey Crossroads. The presence of the Woodbine Sch and scattered farmsteads near Gosnell and Picketts Corner illustrates the persistence of traditional settlement patterns along the undulating ridge. To the north, the terrain softens toward the valley of Sams Creek, while the eastern portion is dissected by the drainage of Morgan Run and Little Morgan Run.
