1953 Map of Conowingo Dam
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Susquehanna River Conowingo Reservoir dominates this mid-century landscape, anchored by the massive Conowingo Dam and its adjacent Power Plant. This 1953 revision documents the industrial and rural infrastructure of the Cecil and Harford County borderlands, including the operations of the Conowingo Power Company. The historic Mason And Dixon Line cuts across the northern portion of the sheet, separating the rolling hills of Maryland from Pennsylvania settlements like Peach Bottom and Wrightsdale. Away from the river, the map reveals a dense network of country crossroads and religious life, featuring numerous small congregations such as Hosanna Ch, St Patricks Ch, and Grace Ch. Transportation patterns are evidenced by the Conowingo Sta and Pilot Sta, while local commerce centers around the Conowingo Post Office and established towns like Darlington and Berkley. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of family-named cemeteries, including Rigby Cem and Coopers Cem.
