2016 Map of Capon Springs

About this map

The Cacapon River and the ridgelines of Cacapon Mtn define this section of the West Virginia and Virginia borderlands. Local history is anchored by early settlements and religious centers such as Hooks Mills and Lehew, where the Shiloh United Methodist Church Cem serves as a genealogical waypoint. The terrain is marked by a series of significant gaps and ridges, including Sawlog Gap and Wingfield Gap, which historically dictated travel through the Great North Mountain range. Modern residential development is visible at Shawneeland and Wilde Acres, contrasting with the protected woodlands of the George Washington National Forest. Notable water features like Bubbling Spring and the resort-adjacent Capon Springs reflect the region's long-standing connection to its mineral waters. The map also traces the winding path of Carpers Pike as it crosses from Hampshire County into Frederick County, passing through High View.
