About this map

Augusta Springs and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley foothills are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows during the mid-2010s. The landscape transitions from the protected timberlands of the George Washington National Forest in the northwest to a patchwork of valley settlements and agricultural clearings to the southeast. Water management is a central theme of the local geography, anchored by the Craigsville Reservoir and the drainage of the Little Calfpasture River.

Rural life is distributed across small communities like Estaline, Fordwick, and McKinley, connected by a web of named roads such as Estaline Valley Rd and Summerdean Rd. The presence of the Mount Herman Cem near the southern boundary provides a point of interest for those tracing local family lineages. The map clearly illustrates the divide between the steep terrain of Little North Mountain and the fertile bottoms along the Middle River and Moffatts Cr.
