The North Branch Potomac River defines the border between Maryland and West Virginia, cutting a path through the Appalachian ridges of Dans Mtn, Haystack Mountain, and Knobly Mountain. This landscape is characterized by the industry and infrastructure of the late 20th century, where the historic C & O Canal and the Old Railroad Grade run parallel to the water. The map captures a mix of small rail-side settlements and agricultural areas, including the Appalachian Orchard and industrial pockets like Amcelle.
