1947 Map of Sang Run

About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves a deep path through this borderland, where the Maryland-West Virginia state line divides the high-altitude terrain of Piney Mountain and Snaggy Mountain. At the heart of the map, the small settlement of Sang Run serves as a focal point near the river's winding course. This mid-century survey captures the landscape just before modern development intensified, showing the early footprint of the Swallow Falls State Forest and the southern reach of Deep Creek Lake. Local history is preserved in the location of the Miller Cem and country institutions like White Rock Ch and Elder Sch. A significant industrial landmark, the Power Plant and its accompanying Surge Tank, stands near the river, illustrating the region's hydro-electric infrastructure. The map also records unique natural features like Friends Salt Petre Cave and the series of drops at Gap Falls.
