2019 Map of Moorefield

About this map

Moorefield serves as the focal point of this Hardy County landscape, where the South Branch Potomac River and the South Fork South Branch Potomac River meet. The town's historic core is anchored by the Hardy County Courthouse and several established burial grounds, including Olivet Cem and Oak Hill Cem. This 2019 survey documents a terrain defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows, such as Timber Ridge and Smokey Hollow, which hem in the river valleys. Smaller settlements like Tannery, Taylor, and Cunningham are spread along the highway corridors of Us Rte 220 and WV Rte 55. The topography is particularly complex to the east, where heights like Sugarloaf Knob and Coburn Knob rise above the drainage of Dumpling Run, illustrating the region's characteristic Appalachian ridge-and-valley formation.
