WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

USDA is an equal opportunity employer. Cover photo by Tim Ridley Executive Summary This Water Resources Assessment was commissioned by the West Virginia Conservation Agency for the Hardy County Commission. The Natural Resources Conservation Service provided technical support and contractual services. The report provides information that will aid in planning and development of water resources in Hardy County as the county grows and expands. Of particular interest are the groundwater resources, springs, and the ability of municipal systems to meet current and future water demands. Chapters 1 through 3 contain descriptive information about Hardy County. This information is based on the latest census reports and other appropriate references, supplemented by information from local planners. There is detailed, analytical information in Chapter 4 regarding the springs, wells, and groundwater resources in the county. Because so many of the county residents are dependent on groundwater, and the poultry industry is completely dependent on wells, this portion of the report may be the most valuable to local planners.
