About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line defines the northern boundary of this Maryland-Pennsylvania borderlands landscape, separating Nottingham and Elk townships. Small crossroad settlements such as Lombard, Lewisville, and Providence dot the region, connected by a network of rural roads and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor. The area is notable for its high density of community centers, including Mt Olivet Ch, Media Chapel, and the Union Sch, which reflect the localized social structure of the mid-20th century. Terrain features like the prominent Egg Hill rise above the drainage of Little Elk Creek and the Northeast Creek, while the Pleasant Hill Lookout Tower suggests the importance of fire observation in these wooded hills. This map documents a period before heavy suburbanization, showing a landscape defined by small-scale farming and old country churches.
