About this map

Bittinger serves as a central point in this northern Garrett County landscape, situated near the headwaters of the N Br Casselman River and S Br Casselman River. The area is defined by its significant relief, featuring named summits like Browning Bear Hill and Chestnut Knob that overlook a network of rural roads such as New Germany Rd and Maynardier Ridge Rd. The presence of several family-named burial grounds, including Bittinger Cem, Pritts Cem, and Murphy Cem, indicates deep-rooted local lineages throughout these highlands.

Outdoor recreation and conservation areas are prominent, with the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail winding through the center of the sheet across Meadow Mtn. In the south and east, the hydrology shifts toward the Savage River Reservoir, fed by the Savage River and Middle Fork Crabtree Cr. Small settlements like North Glade and Floyd anchor the southern boundaries, while features such as Cunningham Lake and the Cunningham Swamp highlight the varied wetland environments of the Appalachian plateau.
