Mary,

The ADC maps are your best bet. If you have the time, you can order via the internet or telephone before you start your journey (or when you get to Washington County, stop at an office supply store and pick one up).

Good luck with finding your ancestors.

> Looking at an 1877 map from the MD Atlas a relative gave us a few years ago, we see no road names just numbers i.e. 329, 286, etc. The map has his great granddmother's name "Mrs. Chambers" printed just above Green Spring P.O and further down what appears to be a road School No. 7. This part of the map designates Fort Fredrick, the C & O Canal, Four Locks etc. The lines which appear to be roads are just designated with the numbers.
