2019 Map of McHenry

About this map

Deep Creek Lake dominates the central landscape, defining the character of western Maryland's mountain country near McHenry and Thayerville. This 2019 survey documents the extensive shoreline development and recreational infrastructure, including Deep Creek State Park and several coves like Marsh Run Cove and Red Run Cove. The high ridges of Negro Mountain and Meadow Mtn flank the valley, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle include the curiously named settlement of Accident. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the topographic data, such as Hoyes Cem, Deep Creek Cem, and Glendale Cem. The transition from the aviation activity at Garrett County Airport to the wetland terrain of The Glades illustrates the varied land use of this Garrett County corridor.
