2019 Map of Sector

About this map

The Trough, a dramatic gorge carved by the S Branch Potomac River, serves as the primary topographical focus in this corner of the Potomac Highlands. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Mill Creek Mtn and South Branch Mtn, which isolate small valleys and pockets of settlement such as Sector and Wickham. In the northwestern reaches, the Saint Luke Presbyterian Church Cem provides a focal point for local genealogy, situated near the banks of the river. To the southeast, the village of Inkerman sits at the foot of the mountains along the N River. The map reveals a network of old transport routes, including numerous instances of a Haul Road or Trail winding through the uplands of Nathaniel Mtn, suggesting a legacy of timber or resource extraction throughout these ridges near the Hampshire and Hardy County line.
