USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Blue Ridge Summit and the surrounding South Mountain communities define this 1944 survey, produced during a pivotal wartime era. The Western Maryland railroad winds through the complex topography, connecting settlements like Pen Mar, Charmian, and Highfield along the border of Maryland and Pennsylvania. A notable concentration of military and institutional sites is evident, including the sprawl of Camp Ritchie and the Sanatorium near Sabillasville.
