Capon Springs and its surrounding mountain gaps define this landscape along the border of West Virginia and Virginia. The area is characterized by a high concentration of recreational and youth camps, including Camp Rock Enon, Camp Tall Timbers, and Camp White Mountain. The drainage of the Cacapon River and Back Creek shapes the local geography, with numerous named crossings such as Arnold Ford and Hooks Mills indicating historical travel routes through the ridges. Genealogists may find interest in the Racey Cemetery and the clustered settlements of Lehew and High View. The map also details the established Capon Springs Resort Golf Course and the residential development at Wilde Acres, illustrating the region's long-standing role as a mountain retreat.
