USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Hancock serves as a pivotal crossing point where the Potomac River separates Maryland from West Virginia, with the Mason and Dixon Line marking the northern border with Pennsylvania. This mid-century survey reveals a complex transportation corridor dominated by the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Western Maryland RR tracks flanking the river. Parallel to these routes, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (Abandoned) remains a visible fixture of earlier commerce.
