1943 Map of Emmitsburg

About this map

South Mountain dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, where the rugged transition from the Blue Ridge to the Monocacy Valley is marked by deep hollows and high peaks like Raven Rock Mtn and Bobs Hill. The northern border with Pennsylvania is defined by the historic Mason-Dixon line, separating Blue Ridge Summit and Monterey from the valley floor. Education and religious institutions are central to the region, most notably Mount St Marys College and St Josephs Academy near Emmitsburg.
