U.S. 40 Cross Section of the United States of America (Chapter 9: Frederick)

 

That was then (1953)

Intro to chapter 9:

The winding street of historic Frederick -- like that of Ellicott City, following the narrow right-of-way of an old road,. is interesting enough in itself, and the Barbara Fritchie Museum (now an airbnb) offers a point of focus.

 

This is now.

Frederick is 50 miles west/northwest of Baltimore.
