The Potomac River carves a dramatic S-curve at the boundary of Maryland and West Virginia, serving as the central artery for transportation and conservation. Along its northern bank, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Western Maryland Railway run parallel, illustrating the competition between rail and water transport that defined this corridor. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of Sleepy Creek Mountain and North Mountain, with the Sleepy Creek Public Hunting and Fishing Area preserving a significant portion of the highland interior.
