1950 Map of Clifton

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Oatka Creek and Black Creek meander through this 1950s landscape, defining the rural character of southwestern Monroe County. The map details a period of transition where traditional farming communities like Clifton and Garbutt are connected by an expanding rail network, including the West Shore and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Educational and religious life is well-documented, anchored by Roberts Wesleyan College in the north and several rural schoolhouses and churches, such as St Felicia Ch, scattered across the townships of Riga, Chili, and Wheatland. Local family history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, from the Presbyterian Cem to the Quaker Cem. The concentration of hamlets like North Chili and South Chili along rail lines highlights the historical importance of these corridors for local transport and commerce before the era of major highway expansion.
