About this map

Flintstone serves as the central hub of this 1950s survey, situated along the historic National Pike where it threads between the imposing ridges of Tussey Mountain and Warrior Mountain. The landscape is defined by the sharp parallel ridges characteristic of the Appalachians, including Polish Mountain and Ragged Mountain, which dictate the paths of early Maryland transportation. Along the northern edge, the legendary Mason and Dixon Line marks the political boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Local life at mid-century is documented through numerous community landmarks, such as Glendale Ch and the Flintstone Creek Sch. Smaller settlements like Gilpin and Pratt are connected by narrow valley roads like Hardsock Road and Breakneck Road, which follow the winding course of Town Creek and its tributaries like Murley Branch. Genealogists will find value in the placement of the Odd Fellows Cem and Fairview Cem near the heart of the township.
