2016 Map of Table Rock

About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves its way through the high plateau of the Allegheny Mountains, defining the border between West Virginia and Maryland. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape where rural settlements like Gortner, Redhouse, and Wilson are scattered among prominent ridges such as Backbone Mountain and Moon Ridge. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Gortner Cem, Red House Cem, and Beckman Cem, alongside historical sites like Fort Pendleton. The rugged topography is further illustrated by distinctive heights like Table Rock and Conneway Hill, while the Monongahela National Forest covers the southern terrain near Silver Lake. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Greater Gortner Airport, situated on a relatively level stretch of land east of the river valley.
