2011 Map of Frostburg

About this map

Frostburg and its surrounding coal-country communities are documented here as they appeared in 2011, showing the dense settlement of the Georges Creek Valley. The landscape is defined by its industrial legacy and educational footprint, anchored by the Frostburg State University campus and various historic mining sites. The map traces the winding paths of Jennings Run and Georges Creek, which historically supported the region's extraction industries. Many small settlements that grew around mines and rail lines are visible, including Eckhart Mines, Midlothian, and Grahamtown. Notable infrastructure like the Borden Tunnel and Horseshoe Curve reflect the challenging topography of the Allegheny Front. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds such as Allegany Cemetery and Rose Meadow Cemetery provide vital links to the families of this western Maryland highland, while sites like Borden Shaft point to the underground workings that once dominated the local economy.
