1945 Map of Woodbine

About this map

The South Branch Patapsco River serves as a natural corridor for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which threads through northern settlements like Woodbine and Morgan. This landscape at the junction of Howard, Carroll, and Montgomery Counties is defined by its mill history and water-driven industry, evidenced by numerous named sites such as Hoods Mill, Carrs Mill, Hipsleys Mill, and Roxbury Mills. To the south, the Patuxent River winds through the protected lands of Patuxent River State Park, reflecting a transition from the agricultural and rail-oriented centers to more preserved riparian terrain. The map documents rural crossroads like Lisbon and Cooksville during a period of infrastructure expansion, showing a mix of established community markers like the Mt Gregory Sch alongside evolving features like the Tank Farm near the Patapsco.
