1944 Map of Chambersburg
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Chambersburg serves as the central hub of this 1944 survey, where the Pennsylvania and Western Maryland railroads intersect amidst a landscape of manufacturing and agriculture. The industrial presence of the U S Paper Mill sits along the banks of the Conococheague Creek, while the sprawling military installation at Letterkenny occupies the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This era shows a community deeply integrated with its infrastructure, from the Chambersburg Airport in Guilford to the numerous rural schoolhouses like Portico School and Mt Zion School that served the outlying townships.
