Brunswick to Dickerson and Mason Wood to Sharpshin Map | Potomac Valley, 1966

Potomac Corridor – Brunswick to Dickerson (Section 6) / Mason Wood to Sharpshin (Section 7), 1966

This original vintage map features Potomac Corridor – Brunswick to Dickerson (Section 6) on one side and Potomac Corridor – Mason Wood to Sharpshin (Section 7) on the reverse, printed in May 1966 as part of a comprehensive regional study highlighting the Potomac Valley as a landscape of scenic beauty and recreational opportunity.

These maps cover a stretch of the Potomac River through Maryland and Virginia, including notable locations such as Brunswick, Point of Rocks, Dickerson, Edwards Ferry, White’s Ferry, Mason Wood, and surrounding river bends, ridgelines, and rural corridors.

The maps illustrate existing public lands, historically significant areas, and proposed zones for recreation and conservation. Prominent features include the C&O Canal corridor, river islands, steep ridges like Furnace Mountain, and wide floodplain areas along the Potomac River.

Highlighted recreation areas and access points are marked throughout, with suggested uses including picnicking, camping, fishing, boating, water access, sightseeing, and nature study. The maps also emphasize connections between transportation routes, trails, and scenic overlooks.

The double-sided format provides a broader, continuous view of this portion of the Potomac Corridor, reflecting mid-century planning efforts focused on balancing conservation, recreation, and regional accessibility.

This piece captures the design and intent of 1960s landscape planning, combining detailed cartography with a forward-looking vision for public land use and outdoor recreation.

This is an authentic vintage 1966 printing and not a reproduction. It retains its original character with light, age-appropriate wear.
