About this map

The Deerfield Valley and the prominent heights of Great North Mountain dominate this mid-century survey of Augusta County. Centered on Elliott Knob, the highest point in the region, the landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of the George Washington National Forest and the Little North Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Along the western edge, the Calfpasture River flows through a narrow agricultural corridor where the Ray Memorial Ch and a small Cem mark the local community's footprint.

Industrial and transit features appear as quiet imprints on the wilderness, from the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line running through the eastern gaps to the Gravel Pit and Claypit near the northern boundary. Notable landmarks for navigators and hikers include the Lookout Tower atop Elliott Knob and a remote Landing Strip situated between Charlie Lick Branch and White Rock Branch. Numerous springs and drafts, such as Buffalo Spring and Ramsey Draft, indicate the complex hydrology of these folded Appalachian ridges.
