The Cumberland Road, as it was called, began in northwestern Maryland, wound through southern Pennsylvania, crossed the narrow neck of Virginia at Wheeling, and then shot almost straight across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, into Missouri.

所谓坎伯兰路， 始于马里兰州西北部， 蜿蜒穿过宾夕法尼亚州南部，在惠灵穿过弗吉尼亚州狭窄的颈部， 然后几乎笔直穿过俄亥俄州、印第安纳州和伊利诺伊州， 进入密苏里州。
