About this map

Dellroy sits at the intersection of industry and recreation in this mid-century portrait of Carroll County. The landscape is defined by the significant waters of Atwood Lake and Leesville Lake, which are bordered by the Leesville State Wildlife Area. This era shows a transition in land use, where extensive Strip Mines and active extraction pits share the ridges with long-established rural institutions.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the foundations of several small communities, including New Harrisburg, Leavittsville, and Queensboro. The map documents numerous country churches and burial grounds like Macedonia Church and the Taber Cemetery, often located near prominent elevations such as Baxter Ridge. Transportation patterns are captured through an Old Railroad Grade and specialized infrastructure like the Atwood Lodge Airfield, reflecting the area's development as both a resource-rich mining district and a destination for outdoor leisure.
