About this map

Flintstone and the surrounding Ridge-and-Valley terrain are captured here in a transition between mid-century agriculture and modern infrastructure. The village sits at a critical gap between Warrior Mountain and Tussey Mountain, serving as a waypoint along the National Pike. To the north, the historic Mason and Dixon Line separates Allegany County from Pennsylvania, cutting across high ridges like Iron Ridge and Polish Mountain.

Remote hollows and family-named landmarks define the landscape, where Town Creek and its many tributaries, such as Black Sulphur Run and Murley Branch, drain the deep valleys. Religious life is well-documented through rural congregations like Oakdale Ch, Glendale Ch, and Paradise Ch. This 1950 edition, updated with 1974 photorevisions, shows the persistence of small-scale mountain settlements and the road networks that connected them, including Hartsook Road and Breakneck Road.
