1944 Map of St Thomas

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of Franklin County is defined by the massive presence of Kit Tatinny Mountain and Front Mountain as it appeared during the mid-1940s. At the foot of these slopes, the settlement of St Thomas sits at a crossroads, while the industrial legacy of the region is marked by Franklin Furnace near the forest edge. The map reveals a complex system of gaps and saddles, such as Yankees Gap and Nancys Saddle, which historically dictated movement between Horse Valley and the fertile lowlands. Significant portions of the mountain terrain are protected within the Buchanan State Forest and the Letterkenny military reservation. Drainage patterns are established by the W Br Conococheague Creek and its tributaries, winding through the township divisions of Metal, St Thomas, and Peters. This survey captures the rural infrastructure before late-century development, focusing on family-named landmarks like Parnell Knob.
