About this map

The Trough defines the western edge of this survey, where the South Branch Potomac River cuts deeply between Mill Creek Mountain and Sawmill Ridge. This distinctive gorge, long a landmark for local travel, sits adjacent to the small community of Sector and the nearby Poorhouse Cem. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the massive ridges of Nathaniel Mountain and South Branch Mountain, much of which is contained within the Nathaniel Mountain Wildlife Management Area.

Family and religious heritage is centered around sites like Saint Luke Presbyterian Church and its associated Saint Luke Presbyterian Church Cem. The map tracks the winding passage of Pot Lick Run and Horn Camp Run through the mountain gaps toward the North River near Inkerman. The county line between Hampshire Co and Hardy Co traverses the high ridges, marking a remote boundary between these two West Virginia highlands.
