About this map

Lonaconing and the surrounding George's Creek Valley appear here in detail, showcasing the dense string of settlements that once defined the Allegany County coal region. The terrain is marked by steep ridges and deep hollows, with Georges Creek serving as the central artery for towns like Midland, Gilmore, and Detmold. Cultural markers are abundant, including several family and community burial sites such as Saint Marys Cem and Oak Hill Cem.

High above the valley floor, the ridge of Dans Mtn overlooks the landscape, featuring prominent landmarks like Dans Rock and Wolf Rock. The map illustrates the complex infrastructure of the area, from the Lonaconing Reservoir to the numerous named runs and hollows like Buskirk Hollow Rd SW. To the southeast, the North Branch Potomac River forms the state boundary, where Danville and Rawlings sit near the base of Ft Hill.
