MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, having an area of 508 square miles, is bounded on the south-west by Virginia, on the north-west by Frederick County, on the north-east by the Patuxent River which separates it from Howard County, and on the south-east by Prince George's County and the District of Columbia.
Large quarries of sandatone are opened near the mouth of Seneca Creek, of which the Smithsonian Institute, at Washington, is built, and also a mar- ble quarry near the Potomac above Poolesville. A quarry of excellent roofing slate has been opened near Hyattstown. Other varieties of building stones exist but are not yet developed to any extent. Several gold mines are being worked in the northern part of the county and near the Great Falla of Potomac. Also chrome ore has been largely extracted from the central part of the county.
The surface of the county is mostly hilly, and gives rise to many branches and creeka, which possess some of the finest water-powers, this being, in fact, one of the features of this county, most of the streams having very con- siderable fall in but a short distance. The Great Falls of the Potomac belongs to Montgomery County, and constitutes perhaps the grandest availa- ble water-power in the Union. These water-powers are partly improved with a number of large flour and grist and saw mills. The soil varies greatly, the western or upper part of the county being a finely cultivated and fertile region, whilst the more northern part although more thickly set- tled, is a thinner and poorer soil. The eastern section, near to Howard and Prince George's Counties, is mostly a light sandy, with some clay land, and exhibits, in its vast improvements about Sandy Spring, what may be accom- plished by industrious skillful tillage. These lands, which were formerly almost a wilderness, with a value of two or three dollars per acre, have become an excellent farming district, and worth $30 an acre and more.
This county binds the District of Columbia on the north-west and partly on the north-east, and from its proximity to Washington, (which is one of
'383

the best markets,) is being cultivated considerably in market farms. Its elevated and very healthy character la attracting many persons to locate country seats. The Chesapeake & Ohio Canal runs along its entire south- western border, and the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, from near the "Point of Rocks" to Washington, through the cen- tre of the county, affording convenient access to nearly all parts.
The productions are wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, tobacco, hay, wool, honey, butter and live-stock.
