About this map

Romney sits at a historic crossing of the South Branch Potomac River, where the Romney Bridge connects the town to the rising slopes of Mechanicsburg and the gaps through the mountains. This region of the Potomac Highlands is defined by a series of parallel ridges, including Patterson Creek Mtn and Mill Creek Mtn, which funnel travel and settlement along the river valley and its tributaries like Mill Creek and Buffalo Run.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, from the Mount Pisgah Benevolence Cem near the town center to family or community plots like Whip Cem and Mill Run Cem. The map documents the persistent rural character of Hampshire CO and Mineral County, where names like Pancake, Junction, and Johnson mark long-established settlements. Notable local landmarks such as the Hampshire County Judicial Center and Paul Williams Spring reflect the area's dual identity as a center of local governance and a landscape rich in natural water sources.
