2013 Map of Augusta Springs

About this map

Augusta Springs and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley foothills are defined by the winding course of the Little Calfpasture River and the towering presence of Little North Mountain. The settlement pattern in this part of Augusta County reflects a long history of small communities connected by rural routes like Augusta Springs RD and McKinley RD. Industrial heritage is visible at Estaline Furnace, a remnant of the region's early iron production, located south of the Estaline settlement near Smith Cr. To the east, the Middle River and Moffatts Cr drain fertile lowlands where hamlets like McKinley and Summerdean are situated. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Big Knob and Sprouse Hollow to the established villages of Craigsville and Fordwick in the west, illustrating the rural-to-industrial shift common in this portion of Virginia.
