1994 Map of Bittinger

About this map

The mountain community of Bittinger serves as a focal point for this landscape in the Allegheny Mountains of Garrett County. The terrain is defined by the massive ridges of Meadow Mountain and Savage River Mountain, which channel numerous tributaries like Poplar Lick Run and Monroe Run toward the Savage River Reservoir. This 1994 data, which includes revisions from earlier 1940s topography, documents a region where state-managed lands such as Savage River State Forest and New Germany State Park intersect with private holdings. Family-named landmarks and local institutions are scattered throughout the valleys, including the Meadow Mountain Mission and several rural schools such as the Bear Hill Sch. The eastern edge is dominated by the steep descent to the Savage River Dam, illustrating the transition from high-elevation agricultural clearings to the dense, protected forests of the reservoir's watershed.
