The name was derived from the fact that the point of beginning is a surveyor's mark at the beginning location for the wide-scale surveying of land. An example is the Beginning Point of the U.S. Public Land Survey that led to the opening of the Northwest Territory and is the starting point of the surveys of almost all other lands to the west reaching all the way to the Pacific Ocean. On September 30 1785 Thomas Hutchins first and only Geographer of the United States began surveying the Seven Ranges at the point of beginning. Jedediah Hotchkiss November 30 1828 - January 17 1899 known most frequently as Jed was a teacher and the most famous cartographer and topographer of the American Civil War. His detailed and accurate maps of the Shenandoah Valley are credited by many as a principal factor in Confederate General Stonewall Jackson's victories in the Valley Campaign of 1862. Hotchkiss was at the Battle of Rich Mountain and created maps for General Robert E. Lee's planned campaign in the mountains. He took a brief medical leave after being stricken with typhoid fever but returned to duty in March 1862 as chief topographical engineer of the Valley District reporting to Maj. Gen. Stonewall Jackson. Hotchkiss served under Jackson for the rest of the general's life. After General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House in April 1865 Hotchkiss surrendered to the Union Army. General Ulysses S. Grant had Hotchkiss released from custody and returned his maps to him. Grant paid Hotchkiss for permission to use some of his maps in his reports and almost all of the Confederate maps in the Official Records produced by the U.S. War Department were those drawn by him.
