2019 Map of Capon Bridge

About this map

The Cacapon River carves through the central valley of this Appalachian landscape, serving as a primary corridor for the community of Capon Bridge. This 2019 survey captures the settlement patterns of eastern West Virginia as they reach the Virginia state line, highlighting the importance of the Northwestern Pike for regional transit. The topography is defined by parallel ridges such as Ice Mtn, Leith Mtn, and Bear Garden Mtn, which create isolated hollows like Sandy Hollow and Frog Hollow. Local genealogy and land use are well-documented through the presence of several established burial grounds, including the Capon Chapel Cem and Sandy Ridge Cem. Natural water sources are prolific throughout the ridges, noted by landmarks like Bubbling Spring, Buffalo Gap Spring, and Ice Mountain Spring. Small settlements like Cold Stream and Timber Ridge remain connected by a network of winding county roads.
