2011 Map of Deer Park

About this map

Deer Park and Loch Lynn Heights serve as central hubs in this landscape, where the Little Youghiogheny River winds through the valley floor. The area is defined by its series of ridges and knobs, including Hoop Pole Ridge, Garrett Hill, and The Little Mountain. To the north, the fingers of Deep Creek lake reach into the terrain at Turkey Neck and Beckman Point. Significant water management is evident through several structures, such as the Little Youghiogheny River Site Number 7 Dam, which created the Little Youghiogheny River Reservoir. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, from the Georges Cemetery in the east to the Wonderly Cemetery near Bittinger Hill. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Altamont and Wilson, reflect a long history of rural residence and local industry.
