Paw Paw Bends and Mill Run to Paw Paw Maps | Potomac Valley, 1966

This original vintage map features Potomac Corridor – Paw Paw Bends (Section 2) on one side and Potomac Corridor – Mill Run to Paw Paw (Section 2-A) on the reverse, printed in May 1966 as part of a study presenting the region as “a model of scenic and recreational values.”

The maps focus on the Paw Paw region of the Potomac River corridor, highlighting key scenic and recreational areas along this stretch. They identify existing public recreation lands, areas with strong recreational potential, and proposed conservation zones. Notable features include the Cacapon River, Little Cacapon, Sideling Hill, Town Creek, and the winding Paw Paw bends of the Potomac River.

Scenic elements such as trails, parkways, railroads, and recreation concentration areas are clearly illustrated, along with suggested uses like picnicking, camping, boating, fishing, and water access. The dual-sided format provides a broader view of this section of the Potomac Valley and its mid-century conservation planning vision.

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.
