About this map

The Cacapon River winds through the northern corner of this territory, marking a landscape defined by the parallel elevations of Sideling Hill and Cacapon Mountain. This 1914 survey captures a moment when the rural economy relied on centralized community landmarks such as Enon School and Birch Grove School, which served the scattered residents of Largent and the surrounding hollows.

Boundary lines for Hampshire, Morgan, and Frederick counties converge here, intersecting with the West Virginia and Virginia state border. The settlement pattern follows the geography of the ridges, with Ungers Store and the village of Ridge positioned along established transit corridors. This preliminary edition provides a clear view of the complex terrain where Stony Creek and Sleepy Creek drain the slopes of Timber Ridge before the arrival of modern infrastructure.
