1950 Map of Lonaconing

About this map

Georges Creek carves a deep industrial corridor through the heart of Allegany County, serving as the primary artery for settlement and transport during the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by the dense concentration of mining communities such as Lonaconing, Midland, and Borden Shaft, which are linked by the Western Maryland railroad. These settlements are interspersed with localized family and religious landmarks, including St Marys Cem and Neff Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of the coal region.
