Dam 3 on the Potomac Seen from the Marker Overlook
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 22, 2007
Caption: Dam 3 on the Potomac Seen from the Marker Overlook
Additional Description: Not only does this give a breath taking (provided you have any left after the climb) view of the West Virginia and Maryland countryside, it also offers some perspective of the commanding line of sight afforded the massive batteries atop Maryland Heights. During the war this side of the mountain top was also clear cut to allow the large guns to fire in almost a 360 degree arch.
