1901 Map of Frostburg
USGS Topo · Published 1901About this map
The George's Creek coal region and the transportation hub of Cumberland dominate this 1897 survey, reflecting a landscape shaped by industrial extraction and mountain transit. Mining operations are central to the local economy, clearly marked at Eckhart Mines, Borden Shaft, and Midlothian. The complex topography of Savage Mountain and Dans Mountain necessitated a dense network of rail and road, including the Cumberland and Pennsylvania R. R. and the historic Cumberland and National Turnpike. Along the Cumberland River, the C. & O. Canal follows the water's edge, illustrating the era's reliance on both water and rail. Small settlements like Vale Summit and Hoffman are positioned near these critical transport veins, providing a snapshot of the region's development before the turn of the century.
