The Blackwater River and North Branch Potomac River carve through the high elevations of Backbone Mountain in this detailed survey of the West Virginia and Maryland border. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of extractive industry, with numerous strip mines and coal-related infrastructure like the tipple and mine dump near Henry. Significant historical markers, most notably the Fairfax Stone, sit near the headwaters, anchoring the territorial divisions between the states.
