About this map

Cumberland and its surrounding mountain ridges anchor this 2014 survey of the Maryland and Pennsylvania borderlands. The landscape is defined by the sharp parallel ridges of Wills Mountain, Shriver Ridge, and Evitts Mountain, which channel local development and transportation through the valley gaps. Historic transport infrastructure is prominent, including the C & O Canal Aqueduct and the C & O CNHS - WMD Railroad corridor.

Smaller hamlets like Twiggtown, Wolfe Mill, and Dickens are scattered throughout the valleys, while Lake Habeeb serves as a significant recreational water body east of the city. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, from the larger Hillcrest Memorial Park to the smaller Union Grove Cemetery and the Robinette Family Cemetery. The presence of the Allegany College of Maryland highlights the modern institutional footprint on the northern edge of the city.
