Richard, South Mountain runs roughly north-south along the border between Frederick County and Washington County. Washington Co. was formed out of Frederick Co. in 1776, so at the time of the survey South Mountain would have been entirely within Frederick Co. A Google map link to it is here: http://g.co/maps/s2a58 You'll notice the "famous" little town of Rohrersville located in Washington Co. just west of the mountain.
