PCHT Trail Sign Map
This map shows trail sign locations as of today. When new signs are added, the map will be updated.
In terms of hiking difficulty, some trails are designated moderate while others are challenging. Information about level of difficulty is provided on the ACLT’s main trail map. You may wish to limit your day’s activity to visiting two or three heritage sites.

Maps are central to the Parkers Creek Heritage Trail Project. In addition to the maps presented on this page, numerous other maps illustrate PCHT web pages and trail signs. The creation of these maps was a collaborative effort:
-
Rachel Bissett, now a graduate student at the University of Maryland, carried out painstaking research regarding colonial land patents and developed the geospatial data needed to map them.
-
The retired surveyor Art Cochran researched and mapped numerous 19th and 20th century properties.
-
Exa Marmee Grubb, GIS Specialist at the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, assembled the preceding findings as an ESRI ArcGIS dataset as well as producing the StoryMap about land patents.
-
Mary Hoover, Regional Conservation Partnership Coordinator at ACLT, now serves as keeper of the digital data and created the interactive trail map.
-
Carl Fleischhauer guided the overall effort.
