1953 Map of Lineboro

About this map

The Western Maryland railroad corridor defines the transit history of this borderland, cutting south through Lineboro and Millers as it follows the drainage of Gunpowder Falls. The landscape is a network of small farming hamlets and nineteenth-century community infrastructure, featuring numerous rural schools like Hokes Sch and Millers Sch, alongside family-named landmarks such as Stiltz and Hildebrand. This 1953 survey, with revisions from 1974, highlights the dramatic intersection of local topography and modern utility at the Prettyboy Reservoir, where the South Branch Gunpowder Falls is impounded.
