1899 Map of Flintstone
USGS Topo · Published 1899About this map
The North Branch Potomac River carves a complex course through the ridges of Allegany County at the turn of the century, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the B. & O. R. R. compete for the narrow passage along the riverbank. This survey captures a landscape defined by sharp topographical barriers like Warrior Mountain and Polish Mountain, which forced settlement and commerce into tight corridors. The village of Oldtown serves as a focal point near the Maryland and West Virginia border, surrounded by family-named landmarks like Boyer Knob and small industrial sites such as Wolfe Mill. To the north, the village of Flintstone sits at the base of Iron Ore Ridge, while the Penna. R. R. skirts the edge of Londonderry Mountain, illustrating the heavy reliance on both water and rail transportation in this multi-state borderland.
