Comment from ElliottPlack
Ah, yes, this is broken. Admin Boundaries are tricky. They represent where the town limit is. Garrett Park is a town (https://www.garrettparkmd.gov/) so it has a boundary. Those boundaries should not be altered unless the town does some annexation or something like that. I will fix this boundary with the latest boundary data. In general, don't mess with any boundary unless you know what the implications are. Feel free to reach out if you need help with or around them.
Specificially admin boundaries should be set in stone because, well, they are, by law! They are in the place they are and it takes laws and a signature from the governor to move them.
Census boundaries on the other hand are fungible, and change every 10 years with the census. I've been working on updating them around the state since the current boundaries in the map are from 2008. Those I tend to snap to roads and rivers, because their exact boundary is not set by law, more of a guideline.
