About this map

Backbone Mountain and Mozark Mountain define the high elevations of this 1968 landscape, where the Western Maryland railroad follows the sharp curves of the Blackwater River. The town of Hendricks sits at the western edge where the river joins the Dry Fork, serving as a focal point for local transport and industry. Farther south along the riverbanks lie the smaller settlements of Gladwin and Elk, connected by forest roads and river crossings such as a Ford near the mouth of Coal Run.

Evidence of the region's recreational and industrial character is visible in the north at Blackwater Falls State Park, featuring a Ski Area and the Lindy Run drainage. Historically significant markers like the Fairfax Boundary and the Olson Lookout Tower provide fixed points for genealogists and surveyors. The confluence of the Shavers Fork and Glady Fork at the southern end highlights the intricate drainage system within the Monongahela National Forest.
