About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape along the Maryland and Pennsylvania border, where engineering and history converge at the Conowingo Dam. The massive Susquehanna River Reservoir spans the western portion of the map, flanked by significant landmarks such as Wildcat Point and Cromleys Mtn. The river’s industrial and social heritage is evident in the presence of the Old Conowingo Iron Bridge and the cluster of settlements like Conowingo Village and Rowlandsville.

For those researching local heritage, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including Bethesda Cem, Mount Zoar Cem, and Hosanna Cem. These sites, along with established communities like Darlington and Berkley, offer a detailed view of the rural crossroads and small-town footprints in the early 21st century. The transition from agricultural land to protected areas is visible along the Lower Susquehanna Heritage Greenway Trail, which follows the eastern bank below the dam.
