2016 Map of Great Cacapon

About this map

Great Cacapon serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, situated where the Cacapon River meets the Potomac River along the Maryland and West Virginia border. The landscape is defined by long, parallel ridges such as Tonoloway Ridge, Cacapon Mtn, and Warm Springs Ridge, which channel the various runs and springs toward the primary river valleys. This area is noted for its recreational and historical preservation, containing both Cacapon State Park and a portion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. For those researching local family history, several small burial grounds are marked across the terrain, including Bethel Cem, Miller Cem, and Mount Nebo Cem. Infrastructure like the Great Cacapon Bridge and the namesake Fishers Bridge across the river reflect the enduring transportation network of Morgan County, while landmarks like Edes Ft and Enon School point to the area's rural social history.
