About this map

The settlement of McHenry sits at the northern reach of Deep Creek, a central focus of this Garrett County landscape. By 2011, the area around the reservoir shows significant development including the McHenry Post Office and the Garrett County Airport. The terrain is punctuated by significant rises such as Negro Mountain, Roman Nose Hill, and George Hill, while the water system is fed by numerous tributaries including Cherry Creek, Bear Creek, and Gravelly Run.

Cultural and historical sites are well-documented throughout the quadrangle. Genealogists can locate Hoyes Cemetery, Deep Creek Cemetery, and Glendale Cemetery near the shoreline. Recreational and navigational landmarks like the Thayerville Lookout Tower, Glendale Bridge, and the expanse of Deep Creek State Park illustrate the region's importance as a mountain retreat. From the northern hamlets of Hoyes down to McComas Beach, the map details a complex network of local roads such as Bumble Bee Rd and Rock Lodge Rd that serve the various peninsulas and hollows.
