2016 Map of Fort Seybert

About this map

Fort Seybert serves as a central landmark in this 2016 survey of the South Fork South Branch Potomac River valley. The map documents a landscape defined by dramatic north-south ridges, including S Fork Mtn and the prominent Shenandoah Mountain along the eastern border. This area within the George Washington National Forest preserves a settlement pattern of small communities like Oak Flat, Brandywine, and Sweedlin Valley connected by rural routes such as Co Rte 3 and Co Rte 34. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are clearly marked, including Fairview Bethel Cem, Dice Cem, and Hinkle Cem. The topography is densely named with local peaks and knobs, such as Nesselrod Knob and Whetmiller Knob, reflecting the complex mountain terrain of Pendleton County.
