1948 Map of Table Rock

About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves a path through the high plateau of western Garrett County, Maryland, and Preston County, West Virginia, during this late 1940s survey. The landscape is defined by the massive ridge of Backbone Mountain, where the Fire Tower stands as a sentinel over the surrounding drainage basins. Small agricultural and timber communities like Redhouse and Gortner anchor the local road network, while the Western Maryland railroad follows the Potomac River valley in the southeast corner. Social life in this era is evidenced by local landmarks such as Sunnyside Grange Hall and Shady Dell Grange Hall. The map also captures several rural schoolhouses, including Lynndale Sch and Swan Meadow Sch, which served the scattered farmsteads of Pleasant Valley and Allegheny Heights before the consolidation of rural education.
