2014 Map of Harpers Ferry

About this map

Harpers Ferry sits at the confluence of the Potomac River and Shenandoah River, where West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia meet. This survey shows the region's complex geography of mountain ridges like Elk Ridge and Loudoun Heights that flank the river gap. In the Maryland section, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parallels the river, passing through Sandy Hook, Weverton, and the railroad hub of Brunswick. The landscape is dotted with small agricultural settlements and historic sites, including Garretts Mill and Knoxville. To the south in Virginia, Lovettsville anchors a region characterized by family-named cemeteries such as the African Methodist Episcopal Cem and Saint James Cem. The map provides detailed locations for landmarks within the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, including Jefferson Rock and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Covered Bridge.
