1947 Map of Sang Run

About this map

Youghiogheny River carves a deep path through this 1947 survey of the Maryland and West Virginia borderlands. The landscape is defined by its transition from agricultural glades to the dense timber of Swallow Falls State Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the valley floor at Sang Run and the western plateau near Cranesville, where local infrastructure like Lynn Dale Sch and White Rock Ch served the rural population. The emergence of modern energy is evident near Deep Creek Lake in the southeast, where a Power Plant and Surge Tank mark the early development of hydroelectric utility. Along the high ridges such as Piney Mountain and Snaggy Mountain, surveyors identified a Lookout Tower and the intriguing Friends Salt Peter Cave, pointing to the area's mix of natural resource management and local legend.
