About this map

Lost River State Park dominates this portion of Hardy County, where the steep ridgelines of Shenandoah Mountain and Big Ridge define the landscape. This modern survey illustrates a network of recreation trails such as the Miller's Rock Trail and Virginia View Trail winding through the high country. Historically significant water features like Lee Sulphur Spring and the South Fork South Branch Potomac River provide a geographic anchor for the region's topography.

Physical landmarks such as Helmick Rock, Miller Rock, and Cheeks Rocks offer fixed points for land navigation above the deep drainages of Strawderman Hollow and Wetzel Hollow. The presence of the Harness Ford Bridge in the northwest quadrant indicates a critical crossing point over the river, while the complex of peaks including Elkhorn Mtn and South Branch Mtn showcases the characteristic Appalachian fold-and-thrust belt geography preserved within the park's boundaries.
