USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Georges Creek carves a narrow, industrial valley through this portion of the Allegheny Mountains, serving as the primary corridor for settlements like Lonaconing and Midland. This 1950 survey reveals a landscape deeply shaped by the coal and transportation sectors of western Maryland, with strip mines dotting the ridges and three major rail lines—the Pennsylvania RR, Western Maryland RR, and Baltimore and Ohio RR—weaving through the tight terrain to service the coal patches.
