About this map

Grantsville serves as the focal point for this survey of the Maryland-Pennsylvania borderlands, where the Casselman River and its North and South branches carve through high-elevation terrain. Local history and industry are centered on landmarks like the Casselman Bridge and the Stanton Mill, reflecting the area's role as a transit and milling hub. The landscape is defined by prominent ridges and summits, including Negro Mountain, Packhorse Mountain, and Mount Nebo, which hem in smaller settlements like Jennings and Springs.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds distributed across the hills, from the Grantsville and Maple Glen Cemetery to more remote sites such as the Negro Mountain Cemetery and Dung Hill Cemetery. To the south, the industrial history of the region is noted by the Number 1 Mine, while water management is represented by the Lake Louise Dam. The survey also traces numerous named runs and creeks, such as Spiker Run and Puzzley Run, which support the rural character of this border region.
