Cumberland is located in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians at 39°38′52″N 78°45′46″W / 39.647687°N 78.762869°W / 39.647687; -78.762869 (39.647687, -78.762869),[9] at the junction of the North Branch of the Potomac River, and Wills Creek. Interstate 68 runs through the city in an east/west direction. U.S. Highway 220 runs north/south.
The majority of the land within the city lies in a valley created by the junction of the previously mentioned streams. Parts of Wills Mountain, Haystack Mountain and Shriver Ridge are also within the city limits. Cumberland is situated at the entrance to Cumberland Narrows, a natural gateway carved by Wills Creek through the Allegheny Mountains west to the Ohio River Valley.
The abandoned Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has its Western Terminus here, and it is possible to travel by foot or on bike from here to Washington, D.C. along the canal towpath - a distance of roughly 185 miles (298 km).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 9.1 square miles (23.5 km2), of which, 9.1 square miles (23.5 km2) of it is land and 0.11% is water.
This was the terminus, and namesake, of the Cumberland Road.
