1999 Map of Mountain Falls

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

North Mountain and the Great North Mountain ridgelines dominate this borderland where Frederick County meets Shenandoah County and West Virginia. The terrain is defined by steep ridges like Limestone Ridge and McTweed Ridge, which channel drainage into the winding Cedar Creek and its many tributaries. Settlement patterns follow the narrow valleys, with the community of Star Tannery and the historic Gravel Springs area serving as focal points for local life. Numerous country churches and their associated grounds, such as St Stephens Ch and Mountain View Cem, are scattered along the rural routes, indicating a long-established community structure. The presence of the George Washington National Forest and Paddy Mountain highlights the heavily forested and undeveloped nature of the western slopes, while a Quarry near the base of the mountains points to the local extraction of geological resources.
