About this map

The North Branch Potomac River serves as the winding centerpiece for this 2011 survey, carving a path through the borderlands between Maryland and West Virginia. Concentrated settlements like Kitzmiller, Blaine, and Shallmar line the river’s northern bank, while Elk Garden and Nethkin anchor the southern side. This region, characterized by its deep hollows and narrow valleys, shows the imprint of industrial history through features such as Sharpless Mine Rd and the Hitchcock Tunnel.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial sites across the landscape. From the Barnard Cemetery in the northeast to the Jones Cemetery near Nethkin Hill, these markers provide a clear record of local lineage. The map also detail transport corridors like the Vindex Rondex Rd, which connects the small hamlets of West Vindex and East Vindex to the river corridor below.
