1950 Map of Artemas

About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line serves as a central boundary in this mid-century survey, dividing Artemas in Pennsylvania from the ridges of Maryland. The landscape is defined by the steep parallel elevations of Town Hill, Green Ridge, and Ragged Mountain, with deep hollows like White Oak Hollow and Pratt Hollow carved by the drainage of Fifteenmile Creek. This period captures the rural character of the borderlands before modern development, where small community centers like Piney Grove and Little Orleans are anchored by local institutions such as Piney Plains Sch and St Patrick Ch.
