About this map

The South Branch Potomac River and its fork dominate this Hardy County landscape, where the town of Moorefield serves as the central hub. The river crossing points are well-defined, including the Parsons Ford Bridge to the north and the New Buzzard Ford Bridge to the west. For those looking into local lineage, the map identifies several burial grounds such as Olivet Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Baldwin Cem.

The industrial legacy of the area is noted at Tannery, while the surrounding terrain is defined by deep hollows and prominent ridges. Notable landmarks like Sugarloaf Knob and Three Square Knob rise above the drainage systems of Dumpling Run and Fort Run. Small settlements such as Cunningham, Meadow, and Taylor are connected by a network of rural roads including Old Capon Rd and Dover Hollow Rd, reflecting a landscape tied closely to its river valleys and mountain gaps.
