1951 Map of Oldtown
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Potomac River meanders sharply through the mountainous borderlands of Maryland and West Virginia, defining a landscape shaped by transportation and geography. The Oldtown community sits near the river's bend, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Western Maryland Railroad once navigated the narrow passage between Warrior Mtn and Green Ridge. This 1951 record shows the region just after the mid-century, capturing the intricate relationship between the waterway and the dual rail lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad skirting the southern bank.
