2014 Map of Table Rock

About this map

Backbone Mountain and the Allegheny Mountains dominate this rugged boundary region between Maryland and West Virginia. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of two major river systems: the Youghiogheny River flowing north and the North Branch Potomac River marking the southeastern border near Wilson. Small communities like Gortner and Redhouse are connected by the Garrett Hwy, which follows the high ridges. Local history is anchored by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Wesley Cem, Gortner Cem, and the Red House Cem near the junction of the George Washington Hwy. Notable geographic landmarks like Table Rock and Roth Rock provide fixed points along the ridges, while the Greater Gortner Airport represents more modern infrastructure in this upland plateau.
