Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4810 6 -1 3 4 6 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Washington County, Maryland, was chosen as the subject of this dissertation, in order to achieve an intensive geographic study of a comparatively small region. The principal aim of the study is to investigate the difference in the physical and economic conditions found within the County, and generally between the County and other counties, or the State. The disser­ tation, in brief, is a study of "regional differentiation". The problem posed by this study may be stated in form of a question: is areal differentiation brought about chiefly by man or by environmental factors? Research has been carried on, observations and analyses have been made in order to attempt to answer this question for Washington County. The author is of the opinion that, in general, environmental factors, both physical and cultural (social, economic, historical), are the principal influencing factors in any specific area, region, or locality. However, in the case of agricultural differentia­ tion the cultural factors often become secondary. Man plays his part in constructive and destructive ways through his constant attempts to modify the physical landscape and to create a cultural landscape. Regional differentiation is a result of differences in the environmental factors active in a region. The physical factors are frequently, though not always, very important in influenc­ ing the unique characteristics of a region, even though the region may have been profoundly altered by man. Besides, even though it may appear that man is exclusively responsible for the cultural factors, in many instances these cultural factors may have been, to some extent, conditioned by physical factors. A brief historical chapter has been added because the author is of the opinion that the present nature and arrange­ ment of things on the earth cannot be fully understood with­ out a comprehension of past economic and cultural processes. Preston E. James in his Geography of Man, p.v, states that in order "to understand the significance of what is observed on the earth today it is necessary to go back to origins and trace developments'’. The author has also taken the future into consideration, and has tried to formulate some pre­ dictions, because he believes that future consequences are closely related to present conditions. The past is important as a background for the present, and the present is important as a basis on which to predict and plan for ultimate aims which are of great concern to humanity everywhere. The following steps have been taken in the preparation of this dissertation. 1. Library research. This included many types of litera­ ture; geographical, historical, economic and sociological, although the major part of the literature was morphological, climatological, statistical, and historical. The author benefited from many publications which are exclusively or in part related to the County, concise reports and bulletins, mostly of a statistical nature. 2. Constant contact was maintained with agencies and individuals throughout the period of preparation. Direct contact was maintained, in particular with the County Agent, Mr. Mark Miller, the horticulturist, Mr. Charles Dunbar, the entomologist, Dr. C. Graham, the Hagerstown Chamber of Commerce, and the Extension Service, University of Maryland. Fruit growers and farmers from the different sections of the County provided much necessary information and aided the writer greatly in acquiring a better understanding of the problems from the producer's point of view. 3. In order to obtain reliable and specific information on a number of points, a comprehensive questionnaire was prepared. It consisted of sixty-six questions, in two parts. The first part was designed to provide general information about the background of the farmers, types of farming and farm activities. The second part pertained only to fruit growing. The questionnaire was filled out by the author dur­ ing his interview with various fruit growers and farmers. The persons interviewed were selected on a sampling basis. 4. During the preparation period much time was spent in the field by the author. The first few trips were made for general reconnaissance, which furnished a "feeling of the area". The trips that followed, and the weeks spent in residence, gathering material in the field or in the libraries, gave a clear picture of the various physical aspects of the area, and of the economic and social life of the people. V The time was a fruitful period of training and it is the author's hope that the results of his efforts may also prove useful to his fellow geographers, in general, and to Washington County in particular. In closing, the author would like to express his gratitude to Professor William Van Royen, Head of the Department of Geography,for his fruitful direct supervision. He is also grateful to Mrs. Margaret Battersby, Administrative Assistant, for editing the text. The author wishes to express his great appreciation for the help he has received from Mr. Arthur Karinen throughout the drafting work. Acknowledgement should be extended also to the other members of the staff of the Department for their helpful suggestions. The aid and cooper­ ation of the officials of the Extent ion Service of the University of Maryland in Washington County and on the campus are highly appreciated. The help extended by fruit growers and farmers of the County is also gratefully acknowledged. College park, Maryland April 12, 1S53 M.E.A.

Appalachian gas drillers have long suspected that the dark central New York State southward to northeastern Alabama, and from gray to black shale, known as the Marcellus Shale, that overlies the Maryland westward to central Ohio. In western Maryland, the Marcellus Oriskany was the likely source for the gas within this prolifically Shale underlies all of Garrett County and much of Allegany County productive sandstone. The Marcellus was considered “tight” or (cover illustration). Within Garrett County and westernmost Allegany unproductive as a potential gas reservoir, but recent innovations in gas County the Marcellus is between 5,000 and 9,000 feet deep (Figure 2). In well drilling and stimulation have changed that long-held paradigm. In this part of Maryland, the Marcellus Shale is between 150 to 200 feet 2003 Range Resources was the first company to prove that the tight thick (Figure 3). Eastward from Dans Mountain to Town Creek, the shales of the Marcellus could produce economical amounts of gas if Marcellus has been eroded along the crests of anticlinal folds, but is drilled and stimulated unconventionally. shallowly buried within synclinal troughs. In this part of the state the shale ranges from 200 to 230 feet thick (Figure 3).

Landscapes documented through the CLI are those that individually meet criteria set forth in the National Register of Historic Places such as historic sites, historic designed landscapes, and historic vernacular landscapes or those that are contributing elements of properties that meet the criteria. In addition, landscapes that are managed as cultural resources because of law, policy, or decisions reached through the park planning process even though they do not meet the National Register criteria, are also included in the CLI. The CLI serves three major purposes. First, it provides the means to describe cultural landscapes on an individual or collective basis at the park, regional, or service-wide level. Secondly, it provides a platform to share information about cultural landscapes across programmatic areas and concerns and to integrate related data about these resources into park management. Thirdly, it provides an analytical tool to judge accomplishment and accountability. The legislative, regulatory, and policy direction for conducting the CLI include: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 USC 470h-2(a)(1)).
