2023 Map of Deer Park

About this map

Deer Park and the neighboring community of Altamont sit atop the high plateaus of Garrett County, Maryland, where the headwaters of the Little Youghiogheny River wind through the valleys. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Backbone Mountain and Hoop Pole Ridge, which frame a region historically significant for its transition between Appalachian watersheds. In the northern reaches, the southern fingers of Deep Creek Lake extend toward Turkey Neck, illustrating the recreational and hydrographic character of the area. This 2023 survey provides a detailed view of local family heritage, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Beckman Cem, Potomac Camp Cem, and Roman Nose Cem. The map traces the integration of modern infrastructure with traditional mountain geography, from the heights of Lookout Hill to the residential clusters of Mountain Lake Park and Loch Lynn Heights.
