About this map

Moorefield serves as the focal point of this Hardy County study, where the South Branch Potomac River and the South Fork South Branch Potomac River converge. The town layout is clearly defined by historical thoroughfares like N Main St and Winchester Ave, leading to the Hardy County Courthouse and local landmarks such as Olivet Cem and Hill Cem. To the south, the industrial presence of Tannery is noted near the riverbank, while the higher elevations are marked by the Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College.

The surrounding landscape is a complex system of hollows and ridges, including Williams Hollow, Dover Hollow, and Potato Row. Settlement extends along the river valleys to smaller communities like Cunningham, Taylor, and Fort Run. Topographic features such as Sugarloaf Knob and Elkhorn Mtn dominate the horizon, while smaller family and community landmarks like Baldwin Cem and Burlington Cem are preserved in the rural upland gaps.
