About this map

The Mason And Dixon Line bisects this landscape, marking the historic boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland as it was surveyed in the mid-20th century. Centered on the borough of Emmitsburg, the map documents a region defined by its prominent Catholic educational institutions, including Mount St Marys College at the base of College Mountain and St Josephs College near the town center. The terrain transitions from the heights of Turkey Valley in the west to the fertile agricultural lands of the Cumberland Valley in the northeast.
