1950 Map of Artemas

About this map

Artemas sits near the headwaters of Fifteenmile Creek in a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of the Appalachians along the Mason and Dixon Line. This mid-century survey captures a rural borderland where the winding Potomac River forms a southern boundary near Little Orleans. The terrain is dominated by prominent landforms like Town Hill, Green Ridge, and Southampton Mountain, which shaped the early transportation routes through the region.
