About this map

Georges Creek carves a central corridor through this portion of western Maryland, anchoring the industrial and residential heart of Barton and Moscow. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of Big Savage Mtn and Jackson Mtn. Traces of the region's mining heritage are visible in the infrastructure around Barton Hill and Potomac Hill, while the Barton Debris Basin serves as a modern managed feature of the local watershed.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial sites, including Bartlett Cem, Pickell Cem, and Morrison Cem. The western portion of the sheet is dominated by the wilder reaches of the Savage River and its numerous tributaries like Elk-Lick Run and Bluelick Run. Significant recreational and historic transit is represented by the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, which winds across the rugged terrain near High Rock.
