1953 Map of Catoctin Furnace

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains dominate this mid-century landscape, where the Catoctin Recreational Demonstration Area encompasses high points like Bobs Hill and High Knob. Along the valley floor, the Western Maryland railroad corridor links a series of small stations and communities, including Red Hill Sta, Mountaindale Sta, and Locust Grove Sta. The area's industrial and agricultural heritage is visible in the namesake Catoctin Furnace and the extensive Lewistown State Fish Hatchery, which utilizes the waters of Fishing Creek.
