    1. Re: [MDWASHIN] Census Enumeration Districts
    2. Lauren Brantner
    3. Mike, I've always wondered if the cemetery books are loosely arranged along these enumeration districts. When Dale Morrow reproduced the first version of them, he says in his introductions that he left Samuel Webster Piper's maps out because they were done in 1942 and were no longer reliable aids, but that the original books can be located in the Washington County Free Library. Because they are geared more toward cemetery locations, I don't know what they would look like. Has anyone on the list ever looked at them? Is it possible that these maps are somewhere in the National Archives? It also might be worth checking Maryland Archives to see what they have. It also seems to me as I looked up census readings that there are changes in these over time - ie earlier ones refer to large land holdings like Lower Antietam One Hundred. Has redistricting changed them recently? You've posed a very interesting research problem. There may be different maps for different periods of time.
