2016 Map of Charles Town

About this map

The Shenandoah and Potomac River converge at the historic nexus of Harpers Ferry, where West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland meet. This 2016 survey captures the modern geography of this storied landscape, including the sprawling grounds of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The urban corridor of Charles Town and Ranson shows dense development alongside the American Public Univ System, while the surrounding terrain is dotted with ancestral landmarks like Edge Hill Cem and Zion Cem. The map traces the winding Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it crosses the ridges near Keys Gap, providing a detailed view of how contemporary infrastructure, such as the William L Wilson Fwy, integrates with local features like Flowing Springs Run and the industrial activity at Millville.
