1950 Map of Gorman

About this map

The North Branch Potomac River defines the rugged border between Maryland and West Virginia in this mid-century topographical study. The rail-and-river economy is centered on the twin settlements of Gorman and Gormania, where the Western Maryland railroad follows the river's winding course. To the south, the village of Bayard sits at the confluence of Buffalo Creek and the Potomac, serving as a focal point for local industry and transport.
