1953 Map of Mason-Dixon

About this map

Conococheague Creek snakes across the Maryland-Pennsylvania border in this mid-century topographic record, defining a landscape of sharp limestone bends and fertile valley floor. The Mason and Dixon Line serves as a stark administrative boundary between Montgomery and Antrim townships, crossing the creek's meandering path as it flows toward the Potomac. This era shows a well-established rural economy connected by the Western Maryland and Pennsylvania railroads, which served local industrial points like the Wilson Quarry.
