About this map

The Youghiogheny River Lake dominates the eastern portion of this tri-state borderland, where the boundaries of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia converge. This landscape is defined by its deep drainages and ridges, including the prominent Division Ridge and Winding Ridge. The map documents a rural community structure centered on small church-and-school hubs such as Blooming Rose Ch and the McCabe Sch. The historic Mason and Dixon Line serves as the political divide between Henry Clay and Addison townships to the north and Maryland's Garrett Co to the south.

Industrial and transport corridors are noted by a significant Pipeline crossing the terrain. In the river valley, the town of Friendsville sits at a low elevation of 1497 feet, while surrounding peaks like Sickle Hill and Thomas Ridge rise steeply above the water. Smaller settlements like Selbysport and Fiketown appear alongside family-named landmarks such as the Thomas Cem and Emberson Cem, offering valuable data for genealogical research in this mountain region.
