About this map

The Maryland and Pennsylvania RR winds through the hills of Harford County at the turn of the century, providing a vital transportation artery for rural communities like Forest Hill, Fallston, and Rocks. This survey, conducted by A.C. Roberts and W.N. Brown, documents the landscape just south of the Mason-Dixon line, where the terrain transitions from the Peach Bottom heights down toward the valley of the Little Gunpowder Falls.

Settlement patterns follow the high ridges and watercourses, with established clusters at Cherry Hill, Chrome Hill, and Pleasantville. The map captures the intricate hydrology of the region, including the winding paths of Deer Creek and Broad Creek. Local industries and transit points are evident at Grafton, Shops, and Watervale, reflecting a period when small-scale agriculture and the railroad defined the economic life of these Maryland and Pennsylvania borderlands.
