1948 Map of Frankford

About this map

Indian River and its intricate network of tidal guts and coves define this coastal landscape, where life in the late 1940s centered around small river landings and inland agricultural hubs. The Pennsylvania Railroad runs north-to-south through Frankford, connecting the timber and farming districts to larger markets. Along the shoreline, places like Rosedale Beach and Oak Orchard reflect a growing coastal presence, while the interior is marked by long-standing community landmarks such as Old Baltimore Mill and St Georges Church.
