1953 Map of Littlestown

About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line serves as the literal and symbolic center of this mid-century survey, dividing the landscape between Adams County, Pennsylvania, and Carroll County, Maryland. At the northern edge, Littlestown anchors the region with its cluster of civic landmarks, including St Johns Ch and Saint Aloysius Cem, while the Pennsylvania railroad line tracks southeast through Slate Ridge. This transition from Pennsylvania's rolling uplands into Maryland's river valleys is defined by a dense concentration of early hydraulic industry.
