About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line defines the northern boundary of this 1950 survey, marking the historic divide between Pennsylvania and Maryland. Centered on the community of Flintstone, the landscape is dominated by the parallel ridges of Tussey Mountain and Polish Mountain. The National Pike serves as the primary east-west artery, connecting the settlements of Gilpin and Pratt through the gaps in the ridges.

Local history is preserved in the distribution of rural landmarks, such as the Flintstone Creek Sch and multiple houses of worship including Oakdale Ch and Glendale Ch. Genealogists may find value in the labeled burial grounds like Fairview Cem and Odd Fellows Cem. The drainage pattern of Town Creek and its many hollows, such as Kifer Hollow and Possum Hollow, illustrates the complex topography of the Allegany County highlands.
