About this map

The Pennsylvania Maryland border anchors this mid-century survey, detailing the rural cross-border communities of New Freedom and Maryland Line. This area is characterized by a high concentration of institutional landmarks that defined local social life, from the Summit Grove Camp Meeting in the north to the 6th District Consolidated School further south. The landscape is deeply carved by the Gunpowder Falls and Little Falls, which supported a series of historical water-powered industries including Heathcote Mill, Gores Mill, and Valley Mill.
