1955 Map of Clear Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, dividing the ridge-and-valley landscape between Maryland and Pennsylvania. The terrain is dominated by a series of parallel ridges, including Fairview Mountain and Sword Mountain, which funnel drainage into Little Conococheague Creek. Cultural development is concentrated along the National Pike and the historic Mercersburg Road, where small rural communities and family landmarks such as the Cushwa Cem appear.
