Potomac River carving through the gap at Harpers Ferry serves as the focal point for this multi-state junction where Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia converge. The landscape is defined by the legacy of early American transportation and defense, notably the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and its associated towpath winding along the northern bank. On the heights above the water, Maryland Heights and Loudoun Heights frame the confluence where the river meets Elk Ridge.
