Montgomery County, MD in 1865
This map was created shortly after the of the Civil War. It shows the locations of the towns of major importance at that time including Clarksburg, Rockville, Brookeville, Poolesville, Hyattstown, Darnestown, Cracklintown/Laytonsville, Gaithersburg, Washington, DC, and many more! (You will be surprised what Bethesda and Chevy Chase were called 150 years ago!)
The hand-drawn map also shows hundreds of locations of prominent homes and their owners. If you have ever lived or worked in Montgomery County, this map is perfect for your home of office!

As a longtime Moco resident with a interest in county history. I am excited to have a framed copy of this map to hang in my family room.

Really cool map! Interesting to see what towns and roads were named 150 years ago. Will look good in my office.
