  • 7. Mineral Resources
    7. Mineral Resources The primary mineral resources extracted for human use in Allegany County are coal, sandstone, and limestone. Coal bearing formations are concentrated in the Georges Creek Basin in the western part of the county. Mineral resources present in Cumberland occur primarily in association with Shriver Ridge, Haystack Mountain, and Wills Mountain. All three of these landforms contain sandstone deposits of varying quality. Limestone formations occur between Shriver Ridge and Wills Mountain in the Valley Road area and extend across Wills Creek to the West Side. There are no current mining operations within the City of Cumberland. The limestone deposits in the Valley Road area and on the West Side have been quarried in the past. Outside of the City limits, there is an active sandstone mining operation on the northwest slope of Wills Mountain. This operation does not currently affect views of Wills Mountain from Cumberland. There is historic evidence that drilling for natural gas was unsuccessfully conducted in the Narrows at one time. However, the lithology of this area indicates that it is unlikely to be a potential source of natural gas. Issues: • Mineral extraction is not a use compatible with Cumberland's position as a regional urban center. Less developed areas of Allegany County have ample deposits to meet regional needs for mineral resources. Moreover, the mineral resources in Cumberland occur in association with landforms (Shriver Ridge, Haystack Mountain, and Wills Mountain) that are important to the City's visual setting. Mineral extraction is not currently a permitted use in any zoning district within Cumberland. • It is possible that mining on the northwest side of Wills Mountain could affect views of the mountain from Cumberland over the long term, depending upon the extent of future extraction and its potential to undermine slopes along the ridgetop.

  • Sideling Hill Creek Preserve Visitors Guide
    Maryland Preserve Guide Sideling Hill Creek, Allegany County Sideling Hill Creek originates from the southwestern mountains of Pennsylvania, winding its way among the steep, forested shale cliffs of western Maryland before finally spilling into the Potomac River. It is one of the most pristine streams in Maryland, and helps support the Nature Conservancy Nature state’s healthiest population of the globally-rare The The aquatic wildflower Harperella. The rare shale barren communities are another unique feature of this preserve. There are twelve rare, endemic Sideling Hill Creek is one of the most (occurring in the shale barrens and nowhere else) pristine aquatic communities in its region. plants here including the nationally-endangered evening primrose, shale ragwort, and Kate’s mountain clover. The preserve also has many different animals, such as the Olympian marble butterfly, green Key Elements floater mussel, and tiger beetle. Other animals include wild turkey, hawks, and bobcat. Harperella Rare shale barren communities Fun Facts About Sideling Hill Evening primrose The Sideling Hill watershed is about 80% forest cover, Olympian marble butterfly and is incredibly intact because there are no urban centers or industry, and the area is sparsely populated. This isolation has allowed Sideling Hill Creek to have supremely high water quality and healthy aquatic communities. Due to the hydrology of the shale barrens, the water level in this clean creek is highly variable. This variability is common for water bodies near shale barrens, but Sideling Hill Creek is exceptionally variable. It has seven species of freshwater mussels and 40 species of fish. Throughout the preserve, there are also a number of ephemeral streams.

  • C & 0 Canal Association
    C & 0 Canal Association concerned with the consetvation of the narural and historical environment of the C&O Canal and the Potomac River Basin VOLUME XXX DECEMBER 1998 NUMBERS THE LAW AND ORDER ISSUE A CONSERVATION LEGACY The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park Act, January 8, 1971, established the C&O Canal as one of the largest cultural parks within the National Park System. This Act of Congress was the result of 14 years of hard work, frustration, and community effort to preserve the resources and amenities of the park. The leader of this great conservation project was Justice William 0. Douglas. He often served as an icon of determination to preserve a resource he loved, and to educate others about the need to conserve the Canal's resources and environs. His challenge to local newspapers to join him on the grand walk of 1954 along the Canal described the Canal as a sanctuary... not yet marred by the roar of wheels and the sounds of horns ... The stretch of 185 miles of country from Washington to Cumberland, Maryland, is one of the most fascinating and picturesque in the nation ... Justice Douglas' contributions were so valuable that in March of 1977, Congress passed legislation dedicating the Canal and Towpath to Justice William 0. Douglas, and recognized him for his - long outstanding service as a prominent American conservationist. The National Park Service was authorized to undertake actions to publicly recognize the contributions of Justice Douglas. In celebration and recognition of Justice William 0. Douglas' enduring contributions, today (Oct.12, 1998), we unveil a portrait of Justice Douglas painted by canal enthusiast Tom Kozar, that will be displayed by the National Park Service in the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center.
