About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line serves as a stark historical boundary on this landscape, separating the rugged Maryland-Pennsylvania borderlands during the mid-20th century. To the south, the Savage River State Forest covers vast tracts of the Meadow Mountain Ridge, where remote settlements like Avilton and New Germany are anchored by local institutions such as St Annes Ch and Mt Beulah Ch. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with the Casselman River and Savage River carving through the highlands. Transportation in this era is dominated by the National Pike, which passes through Piney Grove and High Point. Genealogists may find particular value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and rural burial sites, including the Merrbach Cem and Blocher Cem, alongside now-vanished educational centers like Crossroad Sch.
