About this map

The Potomac River winds through this mid-century survey, defining the border between Maryland and West Virginia and shaping the industrial geography of the region. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parallels the river's path, passing notable landmarks like McCoys Ferry and the Green Spring Furnace. In the town of Williamsport, the convergence of the Western Maryland and Pennsylvania railroads highlights the area's importance as a transportation hub, supported by the Cumbo Yard and Jamison Yard.
