The Potomac River winds through the heart of this post-war landscape, defining the state border and the industrial character of the valley. Settlement is concentrated along the riverbanks and rail lines, with Kitzmiller and Blaine situated at a critical crossing point opposite Elk Garden. The Western Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio railroads follow the steep watercourse, serving the coal-rich terrain of the Backbone Mountain region.
