  Point of Rocks, Maryland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Point of Rocks is in Frederick County, Maryland.
It is named for the striking rock formation it sits on top of, which is only visible from boats on the Potomac River, or from the southern bank of the river in Virginia.
The rock formations are exposed by the river cutting through the ridge in a water gap, a typical formation in the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians.

 USGS, Open-File Report 00-461
From table 4, the peak discharge for station number 01638500 (Potomac River at Point of Rocks, Md.) downstream of Harpers Ferry was determined to be 480,000 ft³/s at 0930 hours on March 19, 1936.
However, because the Point of Rocks station is located downstream of Harpers Ferry, it might be of limited use in predicting peak elevations at Harpers Ferry during a flood.
Although it is possible that a predicted peak elevation for Point of Rocks could become available under certain circumstances prior to the peak occurring at Harpers Ferry, the peak at Harpers Ferry most likely would occur prior to a predicted peak for Point of Rocks becoming available.

Two of the major Potomac River crossings being discussed involve an expanded Route 15 bridge at Point of Rocks, which Maryland supports as part of a western bypass around the metropolitan area, and a new techway bridge to link the Rockville and Dulles areas, which is opposed by Maryland officials.
The idea of expanding the two-lane bridge at Point of Rocks or widening Route 15 to be some sort of western bypass is not going to help the estimated 90,000 Montgomery County residents who work in Northern Virginia, or the 45,000 Virginians who work in Montgomery County.
• Widening Route 15 between Point of Rocks and Frederick City from two lanes to four is a stated goal of the Frederick County Board of Commissioners, but only to relieve congestion and accidents on that stretch.
