2016 Map of Wardensville

About this map

The town of Wardensville serves as the focal point of this Hardy County survey, situated at the confluence of several vital water sources and mountain gaps. The town is surrounded by a network of named springs, including Richard Farm Spring and Lower State Farm Spring, which fed the agricultural life of the valley. To the east and south, the terrain rises sharply into the protected lands of the George Washington National Forest, dominated by the massive heights of Great North Mountain and Paddy Mtn. Geographers and local historians can trace the intricate boundary lines where Hardy and Hampshire Counties meet, as well as the interstate border between West Virginia and Virginia. The map details a landscape defined by significant ridges like Big Ridge and Anderson Ridge, while documenting family-oriented landmarks such as the Clagett Cem and Alum Bank Cem, preserving the location of early regional burial sites.
