About this map

The Mason And Dixon Line serves as the primary boundary across this mid-century survey, dividing York County, Pennsylvania from Harford County, Maryland. This borderland landscape is defined by the winding course of Deer Creek and its many tributaries, including Island Branch and Falling Branch, which cut through the undulating terrain near Kilgores Rocks. In the northern section, the borough of Fawn Grove stands as a focal point of settlement, supported by community landmarks like the Faith Ch and Kennard-Dale High Sch.

Further south in Maryland, Rocks State Park preserves the dramatic geology along the Rock Ridge, where Camp Wo-Me-To and a 4-H Camp are situated along the water. The map documents a rural network of small communities such as Constitution, Harkins, and Bushs Corner, connected by named local routes like Buttermilk Road and Telegraph Road. This snapshot of the 1950s reveals a settled agricultural and recreational region before significant modern development altered the character of the Maryland-Pennsylvania line.
