This book comprises a record of the developmental dynamics on or about the Potomac River at Catoctin Creek up to Waterford or the Lower Catoctin Creek from circa 1728 to 1829. It studies an area of about 30,000 acres of land mostly in the Catoctin Creek watershed. It follows the varied legal instruments that served to break up large tracts of land, which were patented to grantees and were subsequently divided into parcels or lots of land, and were sequentially further separated into smaller parcels or lots of land. Included are varied histories, abstracted legal instruments and ninety-four measured drawings or plats, complete boundary descriptions, consideration monies, footnotes and an index to names, places and subjects. Roberto Costantino has authored four books about colonial developmental dynamics in the Upper Potomac River Valley.
