GRANTSVILLE - While the rest of the nation grows more
diverse, Census Tract 2 in Garrett County remains little changed, with
the area around Grantsville posting the highest percentage of white
residents in Maryland in the 2000 census. Tract 2 is bounded by the Mason-Dixon
Line on the north; Chestnut Ridge Road and New Germany Road on the east;
Bittinger Road, Rock Lodge Road and Accident-Bittinger Road on the
south; Bear Creek, Garrett Highway and the National Pike on the west.
