Federalsburg, MD Flood of 1935


I'm going to stay in Federalsburg, MD this month & show more photos from Jim Bowden, but this time focus on the flood of September 7, 1935, & its aftermath.


An aerial photo by an unknown photographer looking southwest, in September 1935, Jim Bowden collection.

I'm saying southwest because it appears the station is at the top left center of the photograph.


An aerial photo by an unknown photographer looking north, in September 1935, Jim Bowden collection.


Repairs to the bridge over Marshyhope Creek by an unknown photographer looking northeast, in September 1935, Federalsburg Historical Society collection.


Repairs to the siding (possibly Eagle Mills) by an unknown photographer, possibly looking south, in September 1935, Federalsburg Historical Society collection.

The last photo is the most difficult one to determine its exact location, but I know that it should be near the bridge over the Marshyhope Creek around Eagle Mills. If anyone can narrow-down the exact location, please share it with me.
