2014 Map of Lost River State Park

About this map

The South Fork South Branch Potomac River carves through this Hardy County landscape, where the Harness Ford Bridge provides a critical crossing in the northwest. The terrain is defined by the massive ridges of Shenandoah Mountain and South Branch Mtn, creating a series of deep drainages like Strawderman Hollow and Whetzel Hollow. High-elevation landmarks such as the Big Ridge Lookout Tower and Helmick Rock offer vantage points over the narrow runs and steep gaps. Local natural features like Lee Sulphur Spring and several family-named roads, including Jesse Landis Ln and Strawderman Rd, speak to the enduring human presence and land use within these mountain corridors.
