Elevated view of the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers at Harpers Ferry. The remains of the armory are visible along the bank, behind the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads, which continue over a bridge that crosses the river to Maryland. The armory is surrounded by smaller buildings and small groupings and rows of tents.
