1994 Map of Shepherdstown

About this map

The Potomac River winds through this landscape, defining the jagged border between West Virginia and Maryland as it carves dramatic features like Horseshoe Bend and Terrapin Neck. At the heart of the map, Shepherdstown serves as a historic focal point, anchored by the campus of Shepherd College and landmarks like the Rumsey Monument near the James Rumsey Bridge. The presence of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park along the Maryland shore underscores the era of canal-based commerce that once dominated the valley.
