1949 Map of Hedgesville
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Potomac River carves a dramatic serpentine path through this 1940s landscape, serving as the border between West Virginia and Maryland. Along its northern bank, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is a prominent fixture, passing through Four Locks and near the historic grounds of Fort Frederick State Park. This era finds the region defined by a mix of heavy industry and vast orchard operations. The North American Cement Company and the rail hub at Cumbo Yard anchor the southern industrial sector, while the Cumberland Valley Orchards Packing House and Arcadia Orchards Packing House speak to the agricultural economy centered around Hedgesville. Local landmarks like the Stonewall Jackson Monument and Indian Church Cave add specific historical character to the terrain of North Mountain.
