About this map

The South Branch Potomac River carves through the landscape of Hampshire County, defining the deep valley of The Trough. This topography is shaped by prominent parallel elevations, including Nathaniel Mountain, South Branch Mountain, and Little Mountain, which overlook the small settlements of Sector and Wickham. The map details a network of ridges and watercourses, such as Island Ridge and Lockinger Ridge, alongside numerous runs like Stony Run and Sawmill Run.

In the southeast, the North River flows past the hamlet of Inkerman. A high point of interest for surveyors and local historians is the Nathaniel Mountain Lookout Tower, which provides a focal point within the extensive mountain terrain. The inclusion of numerous forest roads and rural routes, such as Horn Camp Rd and Mount Oliver Rd, underscores the area's character as a managed wilderness and rural habitat.
