About this map

The Accident settlement and its surrounding Appalachian highlands are documented here during the late 20th century. This area of Garrett County, Maryland, and Somerset County, Pennsylvania, is defined by the historic corridor of the National Road, which cuts across the northern ridges. The landscape is a network of steep elevations like Negro Mountain and Bald Knob, divided by watercourses including Bear Creek and Cove Run.

Industrial and community history is visible through scattered landmarks such as the Sausman Mine and the grain or timber processing sites of Eagle Mill and Kaese Mill. Local genealogy is anchored by the Turney Cem and smaller burial markers, while the presence of the Rich Sch and the Fish Hatchery reflects the rural infrastructure of the era. Large portions of the eastern terrain are preserved within the Savage River State Forest, showing a landscape where traditional Appalachian land use meets state-managed conservation.
