About this map

Deer Park sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, positioned along the vital Baltimore and Ohio Railroad corridor. The map reveals a high-elevation plateau defined by Backbone Mountain and Hickory Ridge, where early 20th-century resort culture and rural life intersect. To the west, the adjacent communities of Mountain Lake Park and Loch Lynn Heights center around Mountain Lake, while the north is dominated by the sprawling fingers of Deep Creek Lake.

Social and spiritual life in Garrett County is documented through numerous small landmarks like the Sand Flat Tabernacle, Spring Glade Sch, and Paradise Ch. The terrain is marked by family-named heights such as Garrett Hill and Bittinger Hill, alongside several small burial grounds including Wonderly Cem and Mayle Cem. This survey, updated with 1974 aerial data, shows the evolving infrastructure and recreational landmarks like the Boy Scout Camp near Turkey Neck.
