1945 Map of Woodbine

About this map

Woodbine sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor follows the winding course of the South Branch Patapsco River. The area is characterized by a high density of small crossroads settlements and historic milling sites, including Hipsleys Mill, Carrs Mill, Roxbury Mills, and Hoods Mill, reflecting a local economy tied to the numerous waterways like Cattail Creek and Gillis Falls. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Patuxent River and the designated grounds of Patuxent River State Park, marking the transition into Montgomery County. Significant updates from the late 1970s, shown in purple, reveal the expansion of road networks and the modern interchange at Lisbon, contrasting with the more traditional rural layout of older communities like Cooksville and Florence. Local landmarks such as the Mt Gregory Sch and numerous family-named branches provide specific points of interest for genealogical research.
