About this map

The Potomac River forms a winding southern boundary for this region where Maryland meets West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The corridor is defined by the significant footprint of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, which mirrors the river's path alongside the Western Maryland Rail Trail. This transport-heavy lowland contrasts with the dramatic ridges of Sideling Hill and Tonoloway Ridge, where the terrain dictates the winding paths of Mountain Rd and National Pike NE.

Smaller settlements and rural landmarks are scattered throughout the valleys, including Bellegrove and the riverside community of Pearre. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Saint Pauls Lutheran Church and Mount Olivet Cem. The geography is further complicated by numerous county and state boundaries, illustrating how the Potomac and the surrounding ridges have historically served as both barriers and vital connectors for the communities of Exline and Woodmont.
