"It's my hope that every one of my students feels encouraged to take his or her own initiative to appreciate and protect special local places. I try to instill in them that volunteering for organizations such as the Potomac Conservancy is an important way to do this."

Maps can show us many interesting details about our region. Topographic, or topo, maps, show natural features such as water and land cover, and elevation changes. Other maps show population centers, transportation routes, and political boundaries. Sometimes the natural is the political boundary. For example, the Potomac River forms most the western boundary of Maryland. Here we show maps that illustrate the size and diversity of the Potomac watershed, and specific areas where the Conservancy works.
