1998 Map of Rising Sun
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
The Mason and Dixon Line serves as a historic partition across this landscape, dividing the borderlands of Pennsylvania and Maryland. The town of Rising Sun acts as a central hub, where the Conrail line and several regional roads converge. Significant local history is anchored by the West Nottingham Academy, one of the oldest boarding schools in the country, and the Wood Chromite Mine near the banks of Octoraro Creek, pointing to the area's industrial past. The terrain is marked by family-named crossroads such as Barnes Corner and Cathers Corner, alongside rural aviation at Farmington Airport. Small religious and community centers like Ebenezer Ch and Hopewell Ch are scattered throughout the countryside, providing essential landmarks for genealogists tracing late-20th-century settlement patterns in Cecil County.
