1949 Map of Mount Storm

About this map

Abram Creek carves a deep path through this portion of the Allegheny Front, a landscape where the industrial and the rural exist side-by-side. The presence of purple revision marks reveals the expansion of strip mining operations that occurred decades after the original survey, significantly altering the terrain around Glade Run and south of Hartmansville. Along the northern edge, the Western Maryland railroad follows the winding Potomac River, connecting small coal-era settlements like Emoryville and Sulphur City. Local history is anchored by family and community landmarks such as Schaeffer Cem and the White Hall Sch. The George Washington Highway traverses the central plateau, passing Blake Chapel and the high ridge at Skyline, while the Potomac State Forest preserves the timbered slopes to the northwest near the state line.
