1944 Map of Greencastle

About this map

Greencastle serves as the central hub of this mid-century Franklin County survey, surrounded by a productive landscape of orchards and farmlands. The transport network of the era is clearly defined by the Pennsylvania and Western Maryland railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods between rural outposts like Marion, Kauffman, and Zullinger. Significant water resources include the winding Conococheague Creek in the northwest and the Greencastle Reservoir centrally located within Antrim township.
