1899 Map of Hancock
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Potomac River carves a winding path through this 1899 survey, serving as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement at the tri-state border. The landscape is defined by the parallel movement of the C. & O. Canal, the Baltimore and Ohio R. R., and the National Turnpike, all squeezed between the river and steep ridges like Tonoloway Ridge. This map captures a period when regional commerce relied heavily on these arteries, with Hancock and Berkeley Springs established as central hubs for the surrounding mountain communities.
