C&O Canal towpath
The historic canal follows the Maryland bank of the river in a thin line beside the water. It is one of the most distinctive linear features on the map.

The map
About this Potomac map poster
Potomac is a largely residential community in Montgomery County, Maryland, northwest of Washington, D.C. On a map it looks very different from the street grid of the capital. Long, curving roads and cul-de-sacs wind through wooded lots, and the southern edge follows the Potomac River, where the land drops steeply to rocky water.
Along that river runs the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, a nineteenth-century waterway whose towpath is now a national historical park. Nearby are the Great Falls of the Potomac, where the river narrows and crashes through a gorge. The area is also known for its golf courses and for River Road, an old route running parallel to the water.
A Potomac map poster shows a suburban pattern shaped by woodland and slope. Few streets run straight, and large lots leave wide gaps between them. The river and canal cut a long double line along the bottom, which gives the whole design a firm base.

Great Falls stretch
Near Great Falls the river breaks into rocky channels and islands, and the shoreline becomes much more intricate than the smooth curves farther downstream.
Curving residential roads
Instead of a grid, streets loop and branch through wooded parcels, which creates a soft, organic pattern across most of the community.

Why Potomac
A map that means something
Potomac is a place people often live in for decades. A map of its lanes, the towpath and the river bend makes a thoughtful gift for a housewarming, for a family moving on, or for someone who runs the canal trail every weekend.
Personalise the title, a subtitle such as a street name or move-in year, and the coordinates. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, and order it as a printed matte poster, with or without a wooden frame.
