2011 Map of Harpers Ferry

About this map

Harpers Ferry sits at the dramatic confluence of the Potomac River and Shenandoah River, a landscape defined by steep gaps and strategic transport corridors. The map highlights the legacy of 19th-century infrastructure, following the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal as it skirts the northern bank and tracing the path of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Covered Bridge crossing into the Lower Town. On the Maryland side, industrial sites like Dargan Quarry and Garretts Mill represent the local manufacturing and resource history, while the Virginia and West Virginia hills are dotted with family-named landmarks like Roelkeys Knoll and Loudoun Heights.
