About Backbone Mountain

History
Named for its ridge-like appearance, Backbone Mountain sits in Maryland's mountainous western panhandle. The area was heavily logged in the early 1900s but has since recovered, providing habitat for various Appalachian wildlife species and recreational opportunities.
