1944 Map of Price

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Penn Central rail lines cut a diagonal path across this section of Maryland's Eastern Shore, anchoring a network of small agricultural settlements and rural institutions. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of German Branch and Mason Branch, which drain the low-lying terrain into the larger river systems of the Chesapeake watershed. Historical social infrastructure is well-represented, from the Mt Olive Ch and St Gertrude Academy to the presence of the County Home near Ruthsburg. This survey illustrates the transition from a traditional rail-dependent economy to the modern road network, as local crossroads like Price, Hayden, and Ingleside served as vital hubs for the surrounding farming community. The map also records the boundary between Queen Annes Co and Caroline Co, showing how local geography and drainage features like Beaverdam Ditch helped shape civil divisions.
