About this map

Deep Creek Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this portion of Garrett County, Maryland, reflecting a landscape defined by 20th-century recreational development and older mountain settlements. The community of McHenry sits at the northern end of the lake, serving as a hub near Garrett College and the Garrett County Airport. Further north, the town of Accident and the small settlement of Thayerville to the south anchor the local road network, which winds through the ridges of Negro Mountain and Meadow Mountain.

Genealogists can identify several key burial sites including Hoyes Cemetery, Deep Creek Cemetery, and Glendale Cemetery. The eastern terrain is marked by The Glades, a distinct wetland area between the mountains, while the western side features significant elevation changes at Marsh Hill and Roman Nose Hill. Much of the eastern lakefront is preserved as part of Deep Creek State Park, protecting the natural character of the North Glade Cove area.
