Doe Gully is an unincorporated community along the Potomac River in Morgan County in the U.S. state of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. Located along the old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad where it bisects a bend in the Potomac by way of the Randolph Tunnel, Doe Gully is only accessible by way of Doe Gulley Lane (West Virginia Secondary Route 18/2) from Orleans Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 18/1). It is located southwest of Orleans Cross Roads. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park crosses the Potomac River onto the West Virginia side to Doe Gulley's west and it also lies directly across the river from it. Like most of the old B&O railroad stations and their communities, Doe Gully is popular with railfans.
Doe Gully is controlled by three land barons that rule the area with an iron fist. The patriarch is Michael Galiher, who has presided over the area for nearly five decades. In 2008, William Millburn stepped into Robert Millburn’s shoes to run the local beef farm, which consists of two cows. Jeffrey Martin recently acquired an interest in Doe Gully, although his procurement was through questionable means. Together, these three grizzled men control the local wildlife population and deter railfans from entering the estate.
