Vintage Hancock Maryland Map 1966 | Fort Frederick & Potomac River

This original vintage map features Potomac Corridor – Kasecamp Bend to Round Top Hill (Section 2-B) on one side and Potomac Corridor – Hancock to Fort Frederick (Section 3) on the reverse, printed in May 1966 as part of a study presenting the region as “a model of scenic and recreational values.”

These maps focus on the Potomac River corridor through western Maryland and nearby West Virginia, highlighting key scenic, recreational, and conservation areas along this stretch. Locations such as Sideling Hill, Round Top Hill, Fluted Rocks, Hancock, Tonoloway Creek, and Fort Frederick State Park are clearly identified.

The maps illustrate existing public recreation lands, areas with strong recreational potential, and proposed conservation zones. Scenic features including trails, parkways, railroads, and recreation concentration areas are emphasized, along with suggested uses such as picnicking, camping, fishing, boating, and water access.

The double-sided format provides an expanded view of this portion of the Potomac Valley, offering insight into mid-century planning efforts focused on outdoor recreation, conservation, and regional development.

This piece reflects mid-20th century conservation and planning efforts, offering both geographic detail and historical insight into how the region’s natural landscape was evaluated for public recreation and preservation.

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