About this map

The Shenandoah and Potomac rivers converge at the eastern edge of this Jefferson County survey, framing a landscape defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads. Industrial activity is concentrated near the water, with a Limestone Quarry at Millville and Tailings Ponds near the river bend. The urban centers of Charles Town and Ranson show significant detail, including the Page-Jackson High Sch, the Courthouse, and several local hospitals.
