Cunningham Falls State Park & Bull Run Regional Park Maps | Potomac Valley, 1966

This original vintage double-sided map features Cunningham Falls State Park, Maryland (Map 67) on one side and Bull Run Regional Park, Northern Virginia (Map 68) on the reverse, printed in 1966 as part of a broader Potomac Valley regional planning study.

The Cunningham Falls State Park side presents a detailed layout of this popular Maryland park, centered around its lake, dam site, and surrounding mountainous terrain. The map highlights picnic areas, campgrounds, ski slopes, trails, and park facilities, along with elevation contours that illustrate the rugged landscape. Recreational zones such as family picnic areas, group camping, and boating access are clearly marked, offering a snapshot of mid-century park planning and outdoor use.

The reverse side showcases Bull Run Regional Park in Northern Virginia, a large recreational area designed to serve the growing Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. The map outlines open meadows, wooded areas, trails, lagoons, and developed recreation spaces, along with infrastructure such as entrances, maintenance zones, and visitor facilities. The layout reflects the era’s emphasis on regional parks as accessible green spaces for expanding suburban populations.

Both sides emphasize a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, picnicking, boating, nature study, and scenic enjoyment. The clean, modernist cartographic style—featuring layered green tones, fine contour lines, and precise linework—captures the design language of 1960s environmental planning.

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