About this map

Hagerstown serves as a major transportation hub in this early 20th-century landscape, where the Western Maryland RR and Baltimore and Ohio RR converge amidst a dense network of tollgates and early turnpikes. The transition from the limestone-rich Hagerstown Valley to the steep inclines of South Mountain is punctuated by numerous small agrarian settlements and social centers like Funkstown, Smithsburg, and Boonsboro. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including Welty's Church, Manor Church, and dozens of rural schoolhouses such as Broadway School and Mt Aetna School. Along the eastern ridge, the Appalachian Trail follows the high ground near Quirauk Mtn and Monument Knob, while the waters of Antietam Creek power local industry at sites like Rose Mill and Paintrock Mill.
