Abstract

Abstract Harpers Ferry is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers where the Potomac has cut an impressive water gap through the Blue Ridge. Three states—West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland—meet at this point, which is located on the Harpers Ferry 7½-minute Quadrangle. Access to Harpers Ferry from the east or west is by way of U.S. 340 (Fig. 1). Recommended stops are along U.S. 340 south of the Potomac River, Sandy Hook Road north of the Potomac, and the B&O Railroad tracks and within Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (Fig. 2).
