1999 Map of Emmitsburg

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Mason And Dixon Line serves as the northern boundary of this Maryland landscape, where the historic town of Emmitsburg sits at the base of College Mountain. This 1999 survey documents a region deeply rooted in Catholic education and heritage, centered on the sprawling grounds of St Josephs College and St Josephs Church. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Marsh Creek, Middle Creek, and Tom's Creek as they flow toward the Monocacy River in the southeast corner. Small agricultural hamlets such as Motters, Fourpoints, and Keysville are scattered across the valley, connected by country roads that cross landmarks like Sixes Bridge. To the west, the topography rises sharply into the wooded heights of Turkey Valley, providing a stark contrast to the rolling farmland and cemeteries like Mountain View Cem that characterize the Maryland-Pennsylvania borderlands.
