Pendleton
divided into three well defined valleys, with broad, timbered
ridges lying between.
Along the South Fork there is found a
somewhat narrow ribbon of fine bottom land, extending very
nearly the entire length of the county. This ribbon is
cross-sectioned into a rapid appearing of well-tended farms.
Through the six miles of Sweedland valley, and up Brushy Fork,
Stony Run, Big Run, and Hawes' Run are other series of farms of
less productive soil and very much less extent. To the east of
the river there is an otherwise unbroken forest rising to the
crest of Shenandoah Mountain, and used only as a wood reserve
and as pasturage. To the west is a much narrower and and more
rugged belt of woodland.
