2016 Map of Hyndman

About this map

Hyndman sits at the confluence of several mountain streams in a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of Wills Mtn and Shriver Ridge. This Bedford County terrain is marked by a deep genealogical footprint, with numerous family and church burial grounds scattered across the valleys. To the north, the Oakford / Glen Carpenter Farm Cem and Bortz Lutheran Church Cem document early settlement patterns, while the southern reaches near Cooks Mills feature the Cooks Mill Cem and Palo Alto United Methodist Church Cem. The valley floor is shaped by the waters of Wills Creek and its many tributaries, including Gooseberry Run and Little Wills Cr, which eventually flow toward the significant reservoirs of Lake Koon and Lake Gordon. These reservoirs, along with features like Mill Gap, highlight the long-standing management of water resources within this ridge-and-valley corridor.
