2011 Map of Cherry Run

About this map

The Potomac River corridor south of Yeakle Mill defines this landscape, where the historical infrastructure of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the former Western Maryland Rail Tri parallel the riverbank. This 2011 survey documents a transition of the old canal into a modern recreational space, featuring the Licking Creek Aqueduct and Little Pool Campground. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, detailing numerous burial grounds including Stone Bridge Cemetery, Orchard Ridge Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery. Small settlements and rural community hubs like Millstone, Sleepy Creek, and Ernstville are shown alongside essential landmarks like the Sleepy Creek Post Office, providing a clear view of the area's social and transport geography.
