2023 Map of New Freedom

About this map

The Pennsylvania-Maryland border bisects this landscape, separating the York County town of New Freedom from the rural settlements of northern Baltimore County. The terrain is defined by a series of small, scattered communities like Bentley Springs, Maryland Line, and Freeland, many of which developed around early mills and agricultural transport routes. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of local heritage through its dense concentration of historic burial sites, including the Saint John the Baptist Roman Catholic Cem - Old and several family plots like the Kelley Family Cem. The Torrey C Brown Rail Trl follows a corridor of former rail activity, while named water features such as Harris Mill Creek and Georges Run drain the rolling hills. This area preserves a transition between the established borough of New Freedom and the small-scale mill sites at Gores Mill and Valley Mill.
