1951 Map of Cherry Run

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Potomac River corridor serves as the primary artery for transportation and settlement in this 1951 study, where the Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia borders converge. The landscape is defined by the parallel movement of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Western Maryland Railway, and the now Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (Abandoned). This industrial and transit hub is anchored by riverside settlements like Millstone and Sleepy Creek, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the historic Mason and Dixon Line separating Washington and Franklin counties. Away from the river, the terrain rises into Tuscarora Mountain and Orchard Ridge, where rural life is evidenced by numerous country churches such as Pleasant Hill Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside small landmarks like Yeakle Mill and Stone Bridge Ch.
