1947 Map of Avilton

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line defines the northern edge of this landscape, separating Maryland’s Garrett County from Somerset County, Pennsylvania. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural character of the region as it transitioned into the late 1970s, with prominent features like the National Pike bisecting the terrain. Small communities and ecclesiastical landmarks are well-represented, including the settlement of Avilton and several country churches such as Mt Zion Ch and St Annes Ch. The economy of the era is evidenced by an Old Railroad Grade and the vast timberlands of the Savage River State Forest and Meadow Mountain State Forest. Genealogists may find value in the location of family-named sites like the Merrbach Cem and Blocher Cem, situated near the headwaters of the Savage River and Casselman River.
