About this map

Charles Town and its surrounding Jefferson County landscape are defined by the convergence of the Potomac River and Shenandoah River. This 2014 survey documents the dense historical and modern infrastructure of the Eastern Panhandle, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parallels the riverbank near Harpers Ferry. The region's transport heritage is visible in the complex rail networks of CSX Transportation and the Norfolk and Western, which intersect at Shenandoah Junction.

Genealogists can find numerous local burial sites such as Saint James Cem and Uvilla Cem, while landmarks like Bolivar Heights within the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park anchor the area's civil war legacy. From the academic grounds of the American Public Univ System in Ranson to the rural reaches of Skeetersville and Bakerton, the map captures a landscape of established towns, family-named springs like Cammack Spring, and the prominent Veterans Memorial Hwy corridor.
