The Allegheny Front dominates this mid-century survey, where the rugged terrain of the Potomac State Forest meets the industrial activity of West Virginia's coal country. Several strip mines are etched into the hillsides above the Western Maryland railroad line, which tracks the winding North Branch of the Potomac River. This era shows a network of upland settlements and rural institutions, including the White Hall Sch and numerous community landmarks like Blake Chapel and the Rehoboth Ch. Local genealogy is well-supported by clearly marked family grounds such as the Schaeffer Cem and Kathbaugh Cem. The industrial and agricultural character of the region is visible in the placement of hamlets like Emoryville and Sulphur City along the tributaries of Abram Creek.
