Potomac River with Paw Paw Bends

Jesse Allen

The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured these images of the Potomac River and canal on September 27, 2016. The top image shows the stretch between Hancock and Cumberland, Maryland—about 97 kilometers (60 miles) if you were to hike or bike along the towpath between these two towns.
