About this map

The Little Cacapon River and its multiple forks define the landscape of Hampshire County, where the north and south branches converge near Frenchburg. This 2011 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by the unincorporated communities of Augusta and Shanks, both of which maintain their own postal facilities. The settlement pattern follows the high ground and valley floors, with traditional centers like Barnes Mill situated along the water.

Genealogists will find value in the placement of Bethel Cemetery and Mountaindale Cemetery, alongside family-named routes such as Ash Ruckman Rd and Heide Cooper Rd. Significant geographic features like Stony Mountain and the South Branch Potomac River in the northwest corner provide a clear view of the topographic constraints that shaped this Appalachian corridor. The presence of Lost Mountain Airport adds a modern layer to this traditionally agricultural and river-oriented community.
