About this map

Sugar Grove and the winding South Fork South Branch Potomac River anchor this topographic study of Pendleton County's Highland region. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Mitchell Mtn, Sandy Ridge, and Thorn Mtn, creating a topography where settlement follows the narrow valley floors. Small communities like Dahmer, Mitchell, and Moyers are connected by rural routes such as Dahmer Gap Rd and Moyer Gap Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous named water sources that often indicate historic family homesteads, such as Jamison Farm Spring, Rexrode Farm Spring, and Mitchell Farm Spring. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the George Washington National Forest, where the terrain ascends toward Dickinson Mtn and Turkey Knob. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the West Virginia highlands, where mountain gaps like Mill Gap remain vital corridors between isolated ridges.
