1949 Map of Cumberland

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The city of Cumberland sits as a critical transportation hub at the confluence of Wills Creek and the Potomac River. This 1949 survey documents the complex industrial and transit network of the era, where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Western Maryland Railway converge through the dramatic passage known as the Narrows. Bordered by the high ridges of Wills Mountain and Haystack Mountain, the landscape is shaped by the topography of the Allegheny Mountain range and the historic National Pike.
