About this map

Augusta and Shanks serve as primary points of reference in this corner of Hampshire County, where the terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of S Branch Mtn and Mill Mountain. The Northwestern Pike provides the main arterial route through the landscape, connecting these small communities across a complex drainage system fed by the Little Cacapon River and its southern fork. To the northwest, the edge of Romney appears near the S Br Potomac River, while the rural interior is dotted with historical markers of community life.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable sites, including the Methodist Church Cem and the Bethel Church with its adjacent Bethel Cem. Industrial and transportation history is reflected in labels for Barnes Mill on Little Cacapon River and the Lost Mountain Airport, illustrating the varied uses of these valley corridors and upland ridges. The map also delineates the northern reaches of the Nathaniel Mountain Public Hunting Rd and the prominent Chestnut Oak Ridge.
