About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this 1940s landscape, serving as the geographic spine for the border region between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Just north of Havre de Grace, the river is bridged by both the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, illustrating the area's vital role as a transportation corridor. The massive Conowingo Dam and its adjacent Power Plant represent the era's significant hydroelectric infrastructure. Inland, the map reveals a dense network of early settlements and rural institutions, from the Tome School at Port Deposit to scattered landmarks like Richards Oak and the Mason and Dixon Line along the northern border. Family-named sites like Wilson Mill and Noble Mill sit alongside Numerous country churches, such as St James Ch and Wesleyan Chapel, providing a detailed view of the region's social geography before mid-century expansion.
