1977 Map of Avilton

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Avilton sits within a high-elevation landscape of Garrett County during the late 1970s, where agricultural clearings and dense forest cover meet the crest of Negro Mountain. This orthophotograph, derived from 1977 aerial imagery, reveals the specific land-use patterns of the era, from the corridor near Piney Grove to the remote valley containing the Frostburg Reservoir. The visual data provides a literal look at the farmsteads and rural road networks connecting High Point and Salisbury, capturing the terrain exactly as it was managed before modern development. Notable watercourses including the Casselman River and the headwaters of the Savage River carve through the ridges, defining the drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement in this corner of Maryland.
