National Road and the Casselman River anchor this late 19th-century landscape at the border of Maryland and Pennsylvania. The terrain is defined by the massive ridges of Negro Mountain and Big Savage Mountain, where small mountain settlements like New Germany and Bevansville are connected by winding creeks such as Slabaugh Run and Jennings Run. This 1898 survey captures the region just before significant 20th-century modernization, showing a dense network of upland farms and family-named landmarks like Ridgley Hill and The Dunghill.
