1956 Map of Jarrettsville

About this map

Jarrettsville and its surrounding rural hamlets are centered in a landscape of rolling agricultural land and winding stream valleys in mid-1950s Harford County. The map documents a dense network of small communities such as Coopstown, Sharon, and Pleasantville, many defined by local institutions like Old Brick Ch and Providence Ch. The Pennsylvania railroad cuts through the eastern portion of the area near Forest Hill, connecting this farming region to broader markets. In the south, the terrain descends toward the Little Gunpowder Falls, which forms the boundary with Baltimore County. Local educational and civic life is anchored by landmarks like the Youths Benefit School and the State Police Barracks near Benson. This survey preserves the exact locations of numerous family and church burial grounds, including the Johnson Cem and Macton Cem, providing essential details for genealogical research in this Maryland piedmont area.
