1953 Map of Harpers Ferry
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Potomac River and Shenandoah River converge at a historic tri-state intersection where Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia meet. This mid-century survey captures the industrial and educational landscape of Harpers Ferry, including the campus of Storer College and the strategic rail infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The topography is dominated by the steep ridges of Elk Ridge and South Mountain, which channel the river through narrow gaps that have historically dictated transportation routes.
