1961 Map of Ellenboro

About this map

Ellenboro and the neighboring community of Lamberton anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, situated along the critical transit corridor of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The terrain is defined by a dense network of narrow runs and hollows, such as Church Hollow and Brooks Hollow, which dictated the placement of early settlements and family-named landmarks. Numerous country churches, including Ninemile Ch, Mt Zion Ch, and Mt Olivet Ch, serve as focal points for rural life throughout Grant, Clay, and Lafayette districts.
