USGS Topo · Published 1898About this map
The North Branch Potomac River carves a winding path through this 1890s survey, serving as the critical industrial and geographic corridor for the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway. The terrain is defined by parallel ridges including Backbone Mountain and the Alleghany Front, which together create a natural barrier between the Maryland and West Virginia highlands. Within this landscape, the historic Fairfax Stone marks the ancient boundary point that once helped define the limits of the Lord Fairfax land grant.
