About this map

The Youghiogheny River and Little Youghiogheny River converge in this high-altitude corner of the Maryland-West Virginia border, anchoring a dense network of mountain settlements and early transportation corridors. The western edge follows the state line between Preston County, West Virginia and Garrett County, Maryland, where small communities like Corinth, Hutton, and Crellin align along the banks of Snowy Creek. This area was a nexus for local mining and timbering operations, evidenced by the named Corinth Mine and Crellin Mine Rd.

To the east, the seat of Garrett County at Oakland transitions into the planned resort character of Mountain Lake Park and Loch Lynn Heights. The map details the transition from urban centers to the wilder northern reaches of Swallow Falls State Park, encompassing topographic landmarks such as Roman Nose Mtn and Snaggy Mtn. Family history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Oakland Cem and the smaller Sines Cemetery near Toliver Run.
