    Hi Andy, long time reader…first time replier. I’m not exactly sure where you took the picture of the cliff above the Potomac River, but I suspect it is part of the ‘Atlantic Seaboard Fall Line, …, a 900-mile escarpment where the Piedmont and Atlantic coastal plain meet in the eastern United States.’ I think it runs from New York to Alabama and has had an interesting impact on the founding and development of America. Dozens of interesting (once great big and small industrial) cities formed along it. Check out this Wikipedia article…if you’re into this type of info…
    Enjoy your blog posts and map info! Please keep up the great work.
    Cheers,
    Bob
