About this map

Bean Settlement and Needmore anchor this section of Hardy County, where the topography is defined by the parallel ridges of South Branch Mtn and Big Ridge. The landscape is a network of steep hollows and narrow runs, including the evocative Bears Hell and Jemima Hollow. This survey provides a modern look at rural infrastructure, tracing the paths of Old Rte 55 and Needmore Rd as they navigate the difficult terrain of the Potomac Highlands.

Cultural landmarks like Pine Grove Cem and the Long Lick Run Bridge are documented alongside numerous water sources such as Webster Spring and Sand Spring. The southeastern corner of the map captures a bend in the Lost River, while the northern reaches show the complex drainage patterns of Skaggs Run and Waterlick Run. This record is particularly useful for identifying contemporary road names and property access points in a region still defined by its traditional mountain settlements.
