1953 Map of Funkstown

About this map

The winding course of Antietam Creek dominates this mid-century landscape, a corridor where industrial and institutional history intersect between Hagerstown and Boonsboro. To the west, the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads facilitate transportation for the State Penal Farm and smaller settlements like Breathedsville and Lappans. The presence of Fiery Siding and Roxbury Sta highlights the importance of rail access to the local economy during this era.
