1956 Map of Cumberland

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Potomac River winds through the heart of the Allegheny Mountains, defining the complex border between Maryland and West Virginia in this mid-century survey. Transportation corridors dominate the landscape, following the river valleys and mountain gaps that have historically connected the interior to the coast. The Baltimore & Ohio RR and the Western Maryland RR parallel the water, while the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal traces the northern bank of the Potomac toward Cumberland.
