About this map

Negro Mountain and the deep gorge of the Youghiogheny River dominate this western Maryland landscape, where the border with West Virginia cuts through the high timberlands of Garrett State Forest. The rural character of the region is anchored by scattered mountain churches like White Rock Ch and Pine Grove Ch, alongside small schoolhouses including Lym Dale Sch and Elder Sch. Industrial and natural landmarks are tucked into the steep terrain, from the Sawmill and Power Plant near the river to the subterranean Friends Salt Peter Cave on Gap Hill. The area south of the river reflects the transition to recreation and conservation, featuring the edges of Deep Creek Lake and the preserved woodlands of Swallow Falls State Park. This terrain remains defined by its family-named peaks, such as Whites Knob, Bishop Hill, and Lewis Knob, which rise above the complex network of mountain runs and swamps.
