1949 Map of Gorman
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The North Branch Potomac River serves as a winding political and geographic boundary in this 1940s survey, separating Maryland and West Virginia. Along its banks, the twin settlements of Gorman and Gormania represent a classic river-and-rail economy, anchored by the Western Maryland railroad that follows the valley floor. The landscape is dominated by the steep rises of The Backbone Mountain and Difficult Hill, where small farming communities and family homesteads are marked by a high density of rural burial grounds like the Harvey-Wilson Cem and Chisholm-Nydegger Cemetery.
