About this map

The Potomac River carves a winding path along the border of Maryland and West Virginia, forming the dramatic oxbow known as The Horse Shoe and the narrow projection of Whitings Neck. This landscape is defined by the legacy of early American transport, anchored by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Key engineering feats of the canal era remain visible, notably the Conococheague Creek Aqueduct and the large basins like Dellinger Wide Water.

Away from the river, the terrain transitions into the developed suburbs of Halfway and the community of Williamsport. Smaller rural hamlets like Bakersville, Fairplay, and Saint James dot the eastern portion of the sheet. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Brial Abraham Cem to the historic Saint Augustines Graveyard, reflecting the deep roots of the families settled along these limestone valleys.
