The Potomac River carves a dramatic series of horseshoe bends through the ridge-and-valley landscape of the West Virginia and Maryland border, most notably at Bevan Bend. This 2023 survey documents the town of Paw Paw and the surrounding mountain terrain, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park follows the river's winding course. The map highlights the complex topography of Green Ridge, Town Hill, and Sideling Hill, which historically dictated the paths of transportation and settlement in the region.
