About this map

The Cacapon River winds in deep oxbow loops through this portion of Hampshire County, defining a landscape of narrow hollows and steep ridges. This 2011 survey details the rural character of the region, where settlements like Largent and Woodrow are connected by a network of winding roads such as Owl Hollow Rd and Cabin Run Rd. The convergence of waterways is a focal point for local geography, specifically at the Forks of Cacapon where the North River meets the main stem.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Woodrow Cemetery and the Old Enon Cemetery near the river's bend. Distinctive geological and terrain features like Castle Rock, Castle Mountain, and Spring Gap Mountain provide clear markers for the area's topographic profile. The map also records numerous smaller drainages such as Critton Run and Bloomery Run, which have historically influenced the placement of mountain homes and valley farms.
