About this map

The Mason And Dixon Line cuts across this 1940s landscape, marking the historic boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania. This survey, conducted just after the mid-century, captures the Youghiogheny Reservoir filling the valley north of Friendsville, a major geographic change that altered the local landscape around Selbysport and the old Great Crossing Ch. To the west, the National Pike traverses the northern edge near Markleysburg, while a network of rural schools and churches like Webb Chapel, Blooming Rose Ch, and the South Avenue Sch serve the scattered farming communities.
