About this map

George Washington National Forest blankets the high ridges of the Great North Mountain range in this 2016 survey, documenting the rugged interstate border where Frederick and Shenandoah counties meet Hampshire County, West Virginia. The landscape is defined by its deep gaps and family-named ridges, including Tarkin Ridge and McIlwee Ridge. At lower elevations, the rural character of the region is preserved through several community landmarks such as Gravel Springs and the village of Zepp.

Evidence of the area's spiritual and family history is found at numerous burial sites, including Saint Stephens Cem and Mount Carmel Cem. The drainage patterns of Cedar Creek and Mulberry Run reveal a land shaped by water, supporting small developments like Pembroke Springs and the private Mulberry Run Airport. Winding forestry and county roads like Wardensville Grade provide the primary access through these steep hollows.
