1971 Map of Sector

About this map

The South Branch Potomac River carves a dramatic path through the valley here, defining the landscape between Nathaniel Mountain and the high ridges to the west. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a quiet agricultural and hunting corridor along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line, which follows the river's bend through the steep gorge known as The Trough. Small communities like Sector and Inkerman anchor the local geography, connected by a network of trails and secondary roads that navigate the complex drainage systems of Pot Lick Run and Skaggs Run.
