1951 Map of Evitts Creek

About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of the Maryland-Pennsylvania border comes into sharp focus, centered on the corridor of Evitts Creek and the eastern expansion of Cumberland. The 1951 edition highlights a region defined by steep topography and strategic transport routes, where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad follows the path of Wills Creek through the mountains. Settlement patterns are largely dictated by the terrain, with small communities like Cooks Mills and Hazen positioned in the lower gaps, while numerous country churches such as Mt Fairview Ch and Mt Collier Ch dot the slopes of Irons Mountain and Collier Mountain.
