2019 Map of Moatstown

About this map

Monongahela National Forest land dominates the northwestern portion of this terrain, where the high ridges of North Fork Mtn and Goshen Ridge overlook the Potomac highlands. The South Branch Potomac River serves as the central drainage for the valley, cutting between Simmons Mtn and Jack Mtn. Small settlements like Moatstown, Zigler, and Harper anchor the local road network, which includes Smith Creek Rd and Co Rte 25. This landscape is particularly defined by its water sources, including several named agricultural springs such as Moyer Farm Spring, Bennett Farm Spring, and Rexrode Farm Spring. The topography reveals the tight relationship between the mountain gaps, like Moyer Gap, and the early transportation routes that followed these natural breaks through the ridges.
