About this map

The town of Accident serves as the southern anchor for this map of the Garrett County highlands, where the topography is defined by the long, parallel rises of Negro Mountain, Winding Ridge, and Boardman Ridge. This landscape, bisected by the Pennsylvania-Maryland state line, maintains a character of scattered rural hamlets and agricultural history. Local legacy is preserved at sites like Saint John's English Lutheran Church Cem and the small Turney Cem further north.

Water power and milling history are evident along the drainages of Bear Creek, where Kaese Mill and Engle Mill mark historic points of industry. The northern reaches include the crossroads of Addison and the settlement of Unamis, while the western edge features the Juergensen Airpark and Maritime Facility. The map effectively traces the winding path of the National Pike as it traverses the high ridges and deep valleys of the Allegheny plateau.
