2023 Map of Woodbine

About this map

The South Branch Patapsco River defines the northern boundary of this Howard County landscape, carving a valley that historically supported vital milling operations. The presence of Hoods Mill, Roxbury Mills, Hipsleys Mill, and Carrs Mill reflects an era where local water power was the engine of rural industry. While the map shows modern developments like Barnes Airport and Glenair Airport, the underlying network of old roads—including the historic Old Frederick Rd and Woodbine Rd—points to the area's long-standing role as a corridor between established Maryland towns. Small settlements such as Poplar Springs, Lisbon, and Daisy are connected by these winding routes, which navigate the varied drainage basins of Cattail Creek and the Patuxent River. This geography illustrates the transition from traditional agriculture and milling toward the contemporary suburban and aviation infrastructure seen today.
