Woodsboro and the agricultural lands of northern Maryland are captured in this 1944 War Department survey, revealing a landscape defined by the winding Monocacy River and its numerous tributaries. The map shows a region heavily reliant on rail transport, with the Western Maryland and Pennsylvania railroads intersecting at critical junctions like Emmitsburg Junction and Rocky Ridge. One of the most significant landmarks is the Terra Rubra Key Farm in the northeast corner, the birthplace of Francis Scott Key, providing a direct link to the state's earliest history.
