About this map

Cumberland serves as the focal point for this survey of the tri-state borderlands, where the mountains of Maryland meet Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Shriver Ridge, Evitts Mountain, and Martin Mountain, which funnel development into the creek valleys. Several water features dominate the eastern and northern reaches, including Lake Gordon behind its dam and the recreational expanse of Lake Habeeb.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history in the rural cemeteries and small communities scattered throughout the terrain. From the Robinette Family Cemetery in the east to the Zion Park Cemetery near the center, the map documents generational anchors in the valley. Industrial and civil history is marked by the Cumberland Aqueduct and named crossroads like Wolfe Mill and Cooks Mills, illustrating how the waterway-and-road network shaped these Appalachian settlements.
