1996 Map of Westernport
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Westernport and Piedmont anchor this industrial river valley, where the North Branch Potomac River serves as the boundary between Maryland and West Virginia. This landscape is defined by the extraction economy of the Allegheny Front, with numerous Former Mines and Strip Mines dotting the terrain from Franklin Hill to the heights of Dans Mtn. The transport network of the late 20th century is clearly visible, featuring the W Va Central Junc and local roads like Seldom Seen Road and Backbone Road. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks including the Cross School, Duling Ch, and family-named cemeteries such as Tichnell Cem and Shikler Cem. The map captures the significant environmental footprint of the region, from the Bloomington Lake reservoir to the extensive wildlife areas like the Allegheny State Wildlife Management Area.
