About this map

Cumberland serves as the focal point of this 1951 survey, situated at the confluence of Wills Creek and the North Branch Potomac River. The city is a dense hub of industrial infrastructure, where the Baltimore and Ohio, Western Maryland, and Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroads converge amidst a landscape of steep ridges and narrow gaps. Significant landmarks like the Courthouse, City Hall, and Allegany High School anchor the urban core, while the surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic geology at The Narrows and Lovers Leap.
