USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Taneytown serves as the focal point of this Piedmont landscape, situated just south of the historic Mason and Dixon Line that defines the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania. The area is characterized by a network of waterways including the Monocacy River, Alloway Creek, and Big Pipe Creek, which influenced early settlement and industry as evidenced by Mairs Mill and Starners Dam. The map documents a transition in transportation, showing the established path of the Penn Central railroad alongside rural thoroughfares like Bullfrog Road.
