The Casselman River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Allegheny Mountains, where the historic National Pike crosses the water at the iconic Casselman Bridge. Located just south of the Pennsylvania-Maryland border, the town of Grantsville serves as a central hub for the surrounding upland communities of Springs, Jennings, and Bevansville. The landscape is defined by massive ridges, including Negro Mountain which reaches its Hi-Point here, and distinctive family-named landmarks like The Dunghill and Maust Hill. Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds preserved in the topography, such as Negro Mtn Cem, Ridgley Cem, and Dung Hill Cem. The drainage patterns of Little Laurel Run and Big Shade Run illustrate the complex watershed that directed early settlement and road development in Garrett County.
