1951 Map of Bellegrove

About this map

Sideling Hill Creek carves a winding path through this corner of the Appalachians, where the state lines of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Sideling Hill and Long Ridge, creating a natural corridor for historic transportation routes. Along the southern edge, the Potomac River makes a dramatic turn at Turkey Foot Bend, flanked by the engineering of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the parallel tracks of the Western Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio railroads.
