Potomac River valley settlements define the Maryland and West Virginia border in this mid-century survey, revised with modern shoreline data. The coal-mining and timber history of the region is evident in the cluster of company towns and outposts like Potomac Manor, Shallmar, and East Vindex, many of which were serviced by the Western Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. The map highlights a significant landscape transformation with the purple-shaded hatching indicating areas designated for submergence by Bloomington Lake.
