1912 Map of Williamsport
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The Potomac River meanders sharply along the tri-state border of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, serving as the central artery for this 1912 survey. Transportation and industry define the landscape, as the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parallels the river, passing through the Maryland and West Virginia borderlands. The town of Williamsport appears as a significant hub where the Cumberland Valley RR and the Hagerstown and Williamsport Electric Railway intersect. To the west, the Bear Pond Mountains and Fairview Mtn provide a stark topographical contrast to the more developed eastern farmlands. Numerous rural institutions, such as the Independence School and Union Church, are scattered throughout the districts, while the presence of Green Spring Furnace and Maugans Mill suggests a diverse local economy rooted in both milling and early industrial works.
