1920 Map of Moorefield

About this map

Moorefield serves as the focal point of this 1920 survey, situated at the confluence of the South Fork and the South Branch Potomac River. The landscape is defined by the sharp parallel ridges of Mill Creek Mountain and Nathaniel Mountain, which frame the agricultural Moorefield Valley. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, specifically highlighting the numerous neighborhood schools like New Lane School, Thrasher Spring School, and Phils Lick School that served isolated hollows.
