1900 Map of Accident

About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves a deep path through Garrett County at the turn of the century, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by milling and timber extraction. Small mountain communities like Friendsville and Selbysport anchor the riverbanks, while the upland areas show a dense network of homesteads and small-scale industrial sites. The presence of numerous mills, including Speelman Mills, Eagle Mills, and Browning Mill, reflects an economy deeply tied to the region's water power and forests.
