About this map

The Potomac River forms a wide, winding bend at the intersection of West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, creating a landscape defined by sharp mountain ridges and historic transportation corridors. The Mason and Dixon Line strikes through the northern portion of the map, separating the townships of Thompson and Warren from the southern settlements. Along the river's northern bank, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (Abandoned) runs parallel to the waterway, passing through the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park.

Local life is anchored by small crossroad communities and landmarks such as Yeakle Mill on Little Cove Creek and Millstone (Miller Sta). The terrain transitions from the heights of Tuscarora Mountain and Orchard Ridge down to the valley floors of Licking Creek and Sleepy Creek. Genealogists will find several rural institutions, including Stone Bridge Ch, Ditch Run Sch, and Chestnut Grove Cem, which served the farming families of this tri-state border region.
