1944 Map of Preston

Transport history is visible through the Baltimore and Eastern rail line passing through Preston, while an Old Railroad Grade near the northern boundary hints at earlier transit routes. Community identity is anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Zoar Ch and Johns Ch, alongside specialized gathering places like the Church Campground. This 1944 survey, updated with 1974 revisions, captures the area during a period of steady transition, where established landings like Lloyd Landing and Wright Wharf persisted alongside evolving roadway networks.
