About this map

The Casselman River winds through this Maryland-Pennsylvania borderlands area, anchoring a landscape where mountain ridges and deep creek valleys define the local settlement patterns. Grantsville serves as the primary hub, situated near the National Road and the Casselman River Bridge State Park. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Negro Mtn and Meadow Mountain, with the Savage River State Forest covering much of the western and southern reaches.

Local family history is preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including the Slaubaugh Cem, Maple Grove Ch, and Yoder Sch. The industrial past of the region is visible in features like the No 1 Mine and an Old Railroad Grade that follows the river's path. Smaller settlements such as Jennings, Bevansville, and Foxtown are connected by a network of runs, including North Branch and South Branch, which converge to feed the larger river system.
