About this map

The Potomac River valley serves as a bustling corridor of transportation and defense during the early 1940s, connecting the heavy industry of Pennsylvania with the strategic transport hubs of Maryland. Chambersburg and Hagerstown anchor a landscape defined by an intensive network of iron and coal infrastructure, notably the Pennsylvania RR and the Western Maryland RR. To the south, the Cumbo Freight Yard and Williamsport Sta highlight the region's importance as a logistics center, while the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal traces the riverbank, a reminder of earlier water-borne commerce.
