MilePost Technology
Cumberland, Maryland

Maps and AI for Western Maryland, built in Cumberland.

MilePost Technology is a local startup. We're building 3D maps of Cumberland and Allegany AI, a system that keeps track of everything happening in the city, so people, businesses and planners here can see their town clearly.

Three maps and an AI for Cumberland

Each map is its own project, built for a different job. Allegany AI keeps the information behind them current.

Cumberland 3D Map

Cumberland in 3D, built from real terrain, aerial photos and building outlines. Fly over downtown, search nearly 400 local places and turn map layers on and off.

Next: more detail, and live information from Allegany AI.

Allegany AI

Our project for everything Cumberland. Allegany AI keeps up with the city: local businesses, what's happening, housing, the economy and more. It runs on our own local AI model, keeps our maps up to date, and will get a site of its own.

Coming: The Allegany Signal, a weekly and daily brief on what's going on in Cumberland.

  • 12,181city lots mapped
  • 519local businesses
  • 18map layers
How it fits together

From public records to a clear picture of the city

Everything starts with open data about Allegany County and ends as something people can look at and use.

  1. Public data

    Terrain, aerial photos, property records, census and flood maps for the county.

  2. Allegany AI

    Reads it all, keeps it current and turns it into clean map layers.

  3. The maps

    3D, pixel and wireframe views of Cumberland, each built for a different job.

  4. Sites and briefs

    The Allegany AI site and The Allegany Signal share what matters with the public.

Why MilePost

Cumberland has always been where routes begin

In 1811 the National Road, the country's first federal highway, set out west from Cumberland, and mileposts marked every mile of the way. The C&O Canal ends here, and the Great Allegheny Passage starts here.

MilePost Technology is based here for the same reason. We want Cumberland to be a starting point for AI, too, with tools built by people who live here.
