About this map

Sideling Hill Creek carves a winding path through the borderlands of Maryland and Pennsylvania, eventually meeting the Potomac River near the small settlement of Pearre. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate drainage patterns of the ridge-and-valley province, where the creek intersects the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal at the Sideling Hill Creek Aqueduct. The landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, from the heights of Sideling Hill and Town Hill to the deep recesses of Swain Hollow and Sawmill Hollow.

Along the southern edge, the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park preserves the historical transit corridor through the Turkey Foot Bend. Rural communities like Bellegrove, Exline, and Cohill are connected by a network of local routes such as National Pike NE and High Germany Rd. Genealogists may find value in the clear positioning of Mount Olivet Cem and Saint Pauls Cem amidst these family-named ridges and hollows.
