1902 Map of Parkton
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Gunpowder Falls and its numerous tributaries, including Little Falls and Bee Tree Run, carve through the rolling landscape of northern Baltimore County and southern York County. This 1900 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey under H.M. Wilson, captures a rural society organized around the Northern Central RR, which follows the winding river valley through settlements like Parkton and Whitehall. The map reveals a dense network of late 19th-century communities such as Maryland Line and Gorsuchs Mills, many of which were centers of local milling and agriculture. Near the southern border, the early footprint of the Lock Raven Reservoir appears, signaling the region's increasing role in supplying water to the growing city of Baltimore. In the north, the transition into Pennsylvania is marked by New Freedom and Stewartstown, highlighting the interconnected nature of the cross-border rail and road economy.
