1948 Map of Table Rock

About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves through the Maryland and West Virginia borderlands in this mid-century topography, where the high ridges of Little Backbone Mountain and Allegheny Heights dominate the landscape. The survey captures a network of rural life centered on crossroads like Redhouse and Gortner, where the social fabric is marked by community landmarks such as Sunnyside Grange Hall and Shady Dell Grange Hall. Significant for local historians is the documentation of smaller educational and religious institutions, including Lyndale Sch and Fairview Ch, many of which served isolated mountain families.
