1891 Map of Harpers Ferry
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
The confluence of the Potomac River and Shenandoah River serves as the focal point for this late 19th-century survey, capturing a region defined by critical transportation corridors and strategic heights. The landscape is dominated by the Blue Ridge and Elk Ridge, where Maryland Heights and Loudoun Heights overlook the historic community of Harpers Ferry. This era shows a dense network of water and rail infrastructure, with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal hugging the northern bank of the Potomac while the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Shenandoah Valley Railroad navigate the water gaps and valley floors.
