1951 Map of Artemas
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Artemas and the surrounding Ridge-and-Valley terrain of Western Maryland are captured here just after the mid-century, defined by the winding course of Fifteenmile Creek and the historical Mason and Dixon Line at the Pennsylvania border. The landscape is dominated by massive parallel formations such as Green Ridge and Town Hill, which dictated the early transportation corridors like the National Pike and the Cumberland Road. Near the southern border, the Potomac River provides a base for the B & O RR and Western Maryland RR as they snake through the river gaps at Little Orleans. This era shows a settled rural backcountry with isolated landmarks including St Patrick Ch and the Long Pond Rod and Gun Club, alongside mineral-interest points like Black Sulphur Spring.
