The Potomac River carves a deep path through the Blue Ridge at Harpers Ferry, where the critical transportation corridors of the late 19th century converge. This survey documents a landscape defined by the parallel paths of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, illustrating the intense engineering required to navigate the water gaps at Maryland Heights and Loudoun Heights.
