Moorefield serves as the focal point of this Hardy County survey, situated where the South Branch Potomac River meets the valley floor between the high ridges of Mill Creek Mountain and Elkhorn Mtn. The landscape is defined by the rigid North-South orientation of the Appalachian ridges, which dictated the path of the Baltimore and Ohio RR as it followed the river's course. Rural life in the 1920s is evidenced by an exceptionally dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including the Powder Lick School and Phils Lick School, alongside remote mountain outposts like Glebe PO and Fabius.
