1946 Map of Grantsville

About this map

Savage River State Forest and the upper reaches of the Casselman River dominate this mid-century survey of the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. The rugged topography of Garrett County is marked by high points like Negro Mtn and Meadow Mountain, where remote social infrastructure is anchored by the Negro Mtn Ch and its accompanying Negro Mtn Cem. The National Pike serves as a primary east-west artery, connecting the community of Grantsville to Keysers Ridge. South of the main settlement, the landscape transitions into a more industrial and rural character near Jennings, where the B & O RR and the No 1 Mine reflect the extraction and transport networks of the era. The map provides remarkable genealogical detail, locating family-named schools such as Yoder Sch and landmarks like Zehner Hill and The Dunghill.
