About this map

The Potomac River carves a deep, serpentine path through this borderland, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parallels the water's edge past engineering landmarks like Four Locks, Dam No 5, and Dam No 4. The landscape is defined by the intersection of three states and the historic Mason and Dixon Line, which marks the northern boundary above Williamsport. Industrial and transport hubs are central to the region, from the Green Spring Furnace and Cumbo Yard to the numerous mills such as Fairview Mill and Cushwa Mill powered by the winding Conococheague Creek. Cultural and educational life is anchored by local institutions like St James School and Union Church, while small settlements such as Shady Bower and High Germany dot the ridges and valleys between the Bear Pond Mountains and North Mountain.
