Description: The Youghiogheny River is a 134-mile-long tributary of the Monongahela River in West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. It drains an area on the west side of the Allegheny Mountains northward into Pennsylvania, providing a small watershed in extreme western Maryland into the tributaries of the Mississippi River. "Youghiogheny" is a “Lenape” word meaning a “stream flowing in a contrary direction.” The river rises in northern West Virginia, southeast of the Aurora. The headwaters are approximately 10 miles north of the headwaters of the North Branch of the Potomac River and pass through Silver Lake before flowing north-northeast into Garrett County, Maryland, then flowing north past Oakland and roughly parallel to the West Virginia border. The river enters southwestern Pennsylvania on the border between Fayette and Sommerset counties. It flows northwest through a gap in Chestnut Ridge and them past Connellsville. It joins the Monongahela River from the southeast at Mckeesport, southeast of Pittsburg. I found lots of images of the Youghiogheny with white water. This card, published by “The Union News Company”, captures a quiet “Youghiogheny River at Ohio, PA”, and “Scenes Along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad”. I cannot find a postmark date, but the card is dated by the writer 1918, and is in near mint condition with minor wear and a clean, clear image. The reverse has a short message and is clean. The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible. Corrections appreciated. If this your card, it will be mailed promptly upon receipt of payment......
