1973 Map of Hanging Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Slanesville and North River Mills anchor this 1970s landscape where the North River and Cacapon River cut through the prominent ridges of the Potomac Highlands. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern defined by gaps and hollows, particularly around Hanging Rock and Loom. Local genealogy and land history are preserved through numerous family-named landmarks like Mouser Ridge, Hiett Run, and Dugmore Ridge. Religious and community centers are marked at Tear Coat Ch and various smaller clusters at Pleasantdale and Hiett. The terrain is characterized by a series of parallel ridges including Cacapon Mountain and Timber Mtn, with a Lookout Tower standing atop Bens Knob. This era shows the region's transition, with traditional agriculture and mountain life intersecting with modern infrastructure such as a prominent Pipeline corridor crossing through Gore.
