1901 Map of Frostburg

About this map

Savage Mountain and Dans Mountain define the topography of this coal and industrial region at the turn of the century. The map documents an intensive extraction landscape, marked by numbered mining districts like No. 17 and No. 24, alongside established settlements such as Frostburg and Cumberland. The transportation network is remarkably dense, showing the transition from the historic National Road and the C. & O. Canal to an intricate web of railroads including the Cumberland and Pennsylvania R. R. and the Baltimore and Ohio R. R.
