Gilbert National Park Service Harpers Ferry, West Virginia May 5, 2003 (Revised September 28, 2015) Introduction The route which Meriwether Lewis traveled from Harpers Ferry, Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, between July 8 and July 15, 1803, has not been well documented 1. The only primary source we have is a letter Lewis penned to President Jefferson from Harpers Ferry on July 8, 1803: I shall set out myself in the course of an hour, taking the route of Charlestown, Frankfort, Uniontown and Redstone old fort to Pittsburgh, at which place I shall most probably arrive on the 15th.2 Route of Meriwether Lewis July 8-July 15, 1803 Pittsburgh R Elizabeth E V I Petersons R Brownsville Pennsylvania O I H (Redstone old fort) O Uniontown Farmington POT OMA Cumberland C R IV Grantsville E M R O Maryland Forks of N Cacapon Harpers O N Fort Ashby Ferry G Brucetown A (Frankfort) H E Gainesboro L A Winchester R I West Virginia V Charles Town E R Virginia 1. With the exception of quoted primary sources, this document uses the contemporary spelling, Harpers Ferry, and not the 19th century spelling, Harper’s Ferry. Harpers Ferry was part of Virginia until June 20, 1863, when the state of West Virginia was created by Presidential Proclamation. 2.

    ADDRESS: 400-36 S 3RD ST, AKA 301-17 LOMBARD ST Proposal: Construct parish hall Review Requested: Final Approval Owner: St. Peter's Church Applicant: David Ade, SMP Architects History: 1758; St. Peter's Church and Yard Individual Designation: 4/30/1957 District Designation: Society Hill Historic District, Significant, 3/10/1999 Staff Contact: Laura DiPasquale, [email protected] BACKGROUND: The property in question, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, is a large parcel that occupies much of the block bounded by Pine, S. 3rd, Lombard, and S. 4th Streets. St. Peter’s Church stands at the northeast corner of the site. St. Peter’s Cemetery occupies much of the northern half of the site. The southwest corner of the site, a surface parking lot, is being subdivided from 400-36 S. 3rd Street as 301-17 Lombard Street. St. Peter’s Church proposes to build a parish hall on the site. The overall property, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, was individually designated in 1957 and was included in the Society Hill Historic District as a Significant resource in 1999. Although part of the larger tax parcel at 400-36 S. 3rd Street at the time of designation, the surface parking lot at 301-17 Lombard Street is separately classified as Contributing for its archaeological potential, but not for any aboveground resources. The Historical Commission reviewed and approved a design for the parish hall in 2019, with the requirement that the property owner conduct an archaeological investigation. Since that time, the archaeological investigation has been completed and a new architect has taken over and revised the design of the parish hall.

  • 1 I-68/I-70: a WINDOW to the APPALACHIANS by Dr. John J
    I-68/I-70: A WINDOW TO THE APPALACHIANS by Dr. John J. Renton Dept. of Geology & Geography West Virginia University Morgantown, WV Introduction The Appalachian Mountains are probably the most studied mountains on Earth. Many of our modern ideas as to the origin of major mountain systems evolved from early investigations of the Appalachian region. The Appalachians offer a unique opportunity to experience the various components of an entire mountain system within a relatively short distance and period of time. Compared to the extensive areas occupied by other mountain systems such as the Rockies and the Alps, the Appalachians are relatively narrow and can be easily crossed within a few hours driving time. Following I-68 and I-70 between Morgantown, WV, and Frederick, Maryland, for example, one can visit all of the major structural components within the Appalachians within a distance of about 160 miles. Before I continue, I would like to clarify references to the Allegheny and Appalachian mountains. The Allegheny Mountains were created about 250 million years ago when continents collided during the Alleghenian Orogeny to form the super-continent of Pangea (Figure 1). As the continents collided, a range of mountains were created in much the same fashion that the Himalaya Mountains are now being formed by the collision of India and Asia. About 50 million years after its Figure 1 1 creation, Pangea began to break up with the break occurring parallel to the axis of the original mountains. As the pieces that were to become our present continents moved away from each other, the Indian, Atlantic, and Arctic oceans were created (Figure 2).

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I–2791 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REGIONAL SEISMIC LINES ACROSS THE ROME TROUGH AND ALLEGHENY PLATEAU OF NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA, WESTERN MARYLAND, AND SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA By Christopher S. Kulander 1 and Robert T. Ryder 2 INTRODUCTION having thin-skinned structures with greater tectonic shortening. These provinces meet at a physiographic and structural boundary The study area for this investigation is the central Appalachian called the Allegheny structural front. The Rome trough, a north­ basin (see index map below). The northern West Virginia, west­ east-trending graben that involves basement, underlies the ern Maryland, and southwestern Pennsylvania parts of the cen­ Allegheny Plateau (fig. 2). Commonly, basement rocks in the tral Appalachian basin consist of complex structural geometries Rome trough are buried beneath at least 20,000 feet (ft) of and a thick Paleozoic sequence. Here, the basin coincides with Paleozoic strata (Shumaker, 1996). Little has been published that is related to the deep structure of 80˚ the Rome trough in northern West Virginia, western Maryland, and southwestern Pennsylvania. Wells drilled to basement are absent here and most of the multi-fold seismic data are propri­ etary. Although Ryder (1991) and Ryder and others (1992) con­ NY structed several detailed stratigraphic cross sections of Cambrian and Ordovician strata across parts of the Rome trough and Shumaker (1996) mapped basement structure along the entire PA NJ 40˚ Rome trough from central Kentucky to northeastern Pennsylvania, few interpreted, regional seismic-based geologic OH MD DE cross sections have been published in this area. The objective of this investigation is to interpret the structure and stratigraphy of 40˚ WV the Rome trough and Allegheny Plateau of northern West VA Virginia, western Maryland, and southwestern Pennsylvania KY based on three multi-fold seismic lines acquired by Amoco in the early 1980s.
