1900 Map of Flintstone

About this map

Evitts Mountain and Warrior Mountain dominate this late nineteenth-century landscape, where the ridges of the Appalachians dictated the movement of goods and people. Along the southern edge, the Potomac River corridor serves as the primary artery for transportation, featuring the parallel paths of the C. & O. Canal and the B. & O. R. R.. This infrastructure supported communities like Oldtown and Greenspring, while smaller mountain settlements such as Flintstone and Twiggstown relied on turnpikes and local creeks. The presence of Wolfe Mill and Cooks Mills highlights the local river-based industry of the era. The map also captures the complex intersection of state and county lines, including the Pennsylvania Maryland boundary and the Allegany Co. Hampshire Co. border, marking the convergence of three states.
