About this map

Hagerstown anchors this 1944 survey, appearing during a period of significant wartime industrial activity. The presence of the Fairchild Aircraft Division adjacent to the Hagerstown Municipal Airport highlights the city's role in aviation production. To the north, the Pennsylvania Maryland state line bisects the community of Middleburg, where regional commerce was facilitated by the Western Maryland and Pennsylvania railroads. Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, Antietam Creek meanders through the landscape, powering older industry at Lehmans Mill and passing near the North American Cement Corp facility. The map captures a rural-industrial balance, preserved through numerous local landmarks like the White Oak Forest School and several rural cemeteries that mark the genealogy of Washington County.
