2023 Map of Cherry Run
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Potomac River defines the border between Maryland and West Virginia, carving a winding path through the tri-state region where the ridges of the Appalachian Mountains converge. The landscape is defined by parallel heights like Tuscarora Mountain and Elbow Ridge, which dictate the flow of Licking Creek and Little Cove Creek. This modern survey highlights the enduring legacy of 19th-century infrastructure, particularly the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal corridor. Local history is deeply rooted in small crossroads such as Ernstville and Pecktonville, and the presence of numerous small burying grounds, including the Stone Bridge Church of the Brethren Cem and Little Cove Methodist Church Cem, suggests early pioneer settlement patterns. The conversion of old transit ways into recreational paths is evident in the Western Maryland Rail Trl and the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trl, which parallel the river's course.
