About this map

Opequon Creek winds through the eastern portion of this landscape, marking the historic boundary between West Virginia and Virginia. The 2019 survey documents a region defined by its diverse water sources, from the Boiling Springs and Silver Spring to the numerous farm springs like Lee Whitacore Farm Spring. Local history is deeply embedded in the many burial grounds recorded here, including the Hopewell Meeting House Graveyard and the multi-family Prospect Hall-Edwards-Hunsicker Cem.

Settlement patterns follow the transition from the slopes of North Mtn down through Gerrardstown and Inwood to the lower-lying communities of Brucetown and Clear Brook. The presence of Taylors Airport and the complex network of state and local routes illustrate the modern transportation infrastructure overlaying an older agricultural and ecclesiastical framework, visible in the distribution of sites like Paynes Chapel Cem and Morgan Chapel Cem.
