2016 Map of Capon Bridge

About this map

The Cacapon River winds through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, serving as the central artery for the community of Capon Bridge. This 2016 survey documents a region defined by its prominent ridges, including Bear Garden Mtn, Schaffenaker Mtn, and Leith Mtn. The settlement pattern reflects the area's history of transport and geography, with homesteads and roads like the Northwestern Pike following the natural contours of the river valley. Numerous springs such as Ice Mountain Spring and Bubbling Spring are noted, alongside family-named hollows and peaks like Darbys Nose and Slanes Knob. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of several burying grounds, including Capon Chapel Cem, Fairview Cem, and Sandy Ridge Cem. The transition from West Virginia into Frederick County, Virginia, is marked at the southeastern corner near Little Timber Ridge, showing the interstate character of this rural corridor.
