1901 Map of Hancock
USGS Topo · Published 1907About this map
The Potomac River carves a winding path through the Appalachian landscape, serving as the vital corridor for late 19th-century transportation and commerce. Parallel to the river's northern bank, the C. & O. Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. illustrate the intense competition between water and rail transit through the mountains. To the east, the defensive presence of Fort Frederick stands as a landmark of colonial history, while numerous crossroads and small settlements like Indian Springs and Brosius dot the valleys between ridges.
