About this map

Gunpowder Falls and its various branches, including the South Branch Gunpowder Falls and Grave Run, carve through this landscape along the Mason-Dixon line. This 2023 survey illustrates the dense network of crossroads communities and rural parishes that define the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Settlements such as Lineboro, Alesia, and Beckleysville serve as anchors for a region historically tied to water power and agriculture, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and churches like the Bethlehem Steltz Reformed Cem and Saint Johns United Methodist Cem.

The southeastern corner is dominated by the reach of the Prettyboy Reservoir, where the terrain drops toward the basin of Compass Run and Georges Run. High points like Dug Hill Ridge and Beecher Hill offer a view of the intricate local road system, including named routes like Wolfgang School Rd and Stick School Rd that hint at the area's educational history. This map is a significant resource for genealogists tracing families associated with local landmarks such as Lazarus Cem or the Black Rock Church of the Brethren Cem.
