1949 Map of Cumberland

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Cumberland serves as the industrial and logistical hub for this 1949 survey, where the Potomac River and Wills Creek meet at the base of Wills Mountain. The landscape is defined by the dramatic water gap known as The Narrows, a critical passage for both road and rail. The region's transport importance is underscored by the convergence of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Western Maryland Railway, and the historic Braddock Road.
