About this map

The Maryland Line marks the center of this detailed border survey, where the rolling hills of northern Baltimore County meet southern York County. At the dawn of the twentieth century, the Northern Central R.R. dictates the rhythm of the region, following the winding course of Little Falls through industrial and rail stops like Parkton and Whitehall. To the east, the Stewartstown R.R. branches toward Stewartstown in Pennsylvania, connecting the agricultural hinterlands to larger markets. The map reveals an intricate network of local waterways that powered early industry, including the First Mine Branch and Second Mine Branch. Notable historic thoroughfares like the Old York Road and Belair Turnpike crisscross the landscape, linking established milling communities like Gorsuchs Mills and Gemmills with smaller settlements such as Five Forks and Stablersville.
