2014 Map of Largent

About this map

The Cacapon River carves deep, sinuous meanders through this portion of the Appalachian Mountains, creating a dramatic landscape of high ridges and narrow valleys. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of northeastern West Virginia, where the river serves as the primary corridor for small settlements like Woodrow and Largent. The rugged terrain is defined by prominent features such as Spring Gap Mtn and Sideling Hill, which force the road network into winding paths. For local historians, the map preserves the location of many isolated burial grounds and community focal points, including the Old Bethel Cem and the Island Hill Cem. The southern reach of the sheet follows the Bloomery Pike toward the community of Bloomery, tracing the confluence where the North River meets the Cacapon, a site historically significant for its water access and proximity to Castle Rock.
