1947 Map of McHenry

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Deep Creek Lake dominates the central landscape of this Maryland survey, its western shoreline defined by Marsh Hill and the intricate inlets of Marsh Run Cove and Red Run Cove. The map documents a period before extensive modern development, highlighting the rural character of communities like McHenry and Thayerville. The high ridges of Negro Mountain and Meadow Mountain flank the water, creating a natural corridor for the Thayer State Game Refuge. To the north, the terrain transitions into agricultural and forest land, where the settlement of Accident and landmarks like the Thayerville Lookout Tower mark the high ground. Local genealogy is well-served by the presence of small rural institutions, including the Beachy Sch, Gasselman Sch, and several houses of worship such as Glade Ch and Glendale Ch.
