1948 Map of Table Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Little Backbone Mountain dominates this portion of the Appalachian high country along the border between Maryland and West Virginia. Recorded in the late 1940s, the map reveals a rural landscape defined by community centers like the Sunnyside Grange Hall and the Shady Dell Grange Hall, which served as social hubs for the scattered farmsteads. The Western Maryland Railroad snakes through the southern edge near Wilson, following the path of the Potomac River and the small settlement of Silver Lake. Small, local landmarks such as Underwood Church and Beckman Cemetery offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in Garrett County. The upper reaches of the Youghiogheny River wind through the northwest, while the high point at Table Rock provides a clear perspective of the surrounding ridges and valley runs.
