1944 Map of Price

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Eastern Shore is centered around the Price railroad stop along the Pennsylvania line during the mid-1940s. Small rural clusters like Roberts, Hayden, and Roe punctuate a terrain defined by complex drainage systems, where German Branch and Wildcat Branch move through wooded lowlands. Local social infrastructure is well-represented, from the Roseville Sch near Clark Corners to the Mt Olive Ch south of Hope. To the south, the County Home stands near Ruthsburg, while St Gertrude Academy serves as a significant institutional landmark at the edge of the survey area. This era shows a transition in mobility, with the railroad still a primary artery connecting the smaller settlements to larger markets, while the growing road network links established crossroads like Bridgetown and Ingleside.
