1920 Map of Petersburg
USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
The North Fork Potomac River and the South Branch Potomac River converge near the northern edge of this territory, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR serves the regional hub of Petersburg. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of South Branch Mountain and Middle Mountain, which shaped a decentralized settlement pattern of small farming and mountain communities. A high concentration of rural institutions is evident, including the Smoke Hole Settlement to the west and numerous family-named landmarks like Sites Chapel and Hedrick Church.
