1923 Map of Hanging Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1923

About this map

Potomac River South Branch carves a dramatic winding path through the ridges of Hampshire County, anchoring a landscape defined by 1920s Appalachian agriculture and river commerce. This survey captures the transition from water-powered industry to rail-and-road dominance, noting historic sites like Willesons Mill and Barnes Mill alongside the iron rails of the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the South Branch RR. The map records a dense network of mountain communities including Springfield, Three Churches, and North River Mills, each supported by specialized rural infrastructure such as the Queen of Gore School and Haines Store. Travel through the gaps of Mill Creek Mountain and South Branch Mountain is dictated by the old Northwestern Turnpike, providing a detailed look at the settlement patterns of the South Branch Valley before modern highway expansion altered the traditional mountain life.
