About this Cumberland map poster
Cumberland sits in the far west of Maryland, where Wills Creek flows into the North Branch of the Potomac River. The city fills a tight space between ridges, and from above its streets fan out along the valleys and climb the lower slopes. Just northwest of downtown, Wills Creek passes through the Narrows, a deep gap in the mountain that roads and railways have used for two centuries.
The city grew from Fort Cumberland, a colonial outpost of the 1750s, and became a transport hub. The National Road, the first major federally funded highway in the United States, began here, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal ended here. Today the canal towpath meets the Great Allegheny Passage in town, forming a continuous trail between Pittsburgh and Washington.
A Cumberland map poster brings rivers, railways and mountain streets together. The Potomac forms a clear, curving boundary along the south of town, rail lines follow the water, and the older grid of downtown gives way to hillside streets that bend with the terrain.

Potomac riverfront
The North Branch of the Potomac curves along the southern edge of the city and forms both a strong natural line and the border with West Virginia.
Canal and trail terminus
The C&O Canal towpath ends here and meets the Great Allegheny Passage, so the city is a landmark for long-distance cyclists and walkers.

Why Cumberland
A map that means something
Cumberland means something to people who grew up in the mountains of western Maryland, and to cyclists who reached it at the end of a long ride along the towpath. A map of the city marks either kind of journey well.
