About this map

Gore and Gainesboro anchor the southern and eastern portions of this borderlands map, where the complex topography of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians defines the local landscape. The interstate boundary between Virginia and West Virginia follows the crest of Timber Ridge, dividing Frederick and Hampshire Counties. The development of Lake Holiday stands as a central geographic feature, fed by Isaacs Creek and Yeiders Run.

Transportation corridors like the Northwestern Pike and N Frederick Pike trace historic routes through the valleys, connecting smaller settlements like Whitacre, Acorn Hill, and Cross Junction. For those researching local family history, the map identifies several burial grounds including Redland Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Gainesboro Cem. Elevated landmarks such as Bear Garden Mtn, Old Knob, and Great North Mountain provide prominent natural orientation points across the terrain.
