The North Branch Potomac River serves as the winding natural boundary between Maryland and West Virginia on this detailed survey of the Appalachian highlands. Along the river corridor, the historic crossing at Gorman and Gormania highlights a shared regional identity spanning the state line, while industrial legacies are preserved in names like Steyer Mine Rd near the settlement of Kearney. The landscape is defined by the massive ridge of Backbone Mountain and high points like Difficult Hill, which shaped the early development of local roads and rail access.
