2023 Map of Largent

About this map

The Cacapon River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Hampshire and Morgan Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The settlement of Largent sits near the river's northern bend, while Bloomery occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by significant topographical features such as Sideling Hill, Spring Gap Mtn, and Castle Mountain, which dictate the local road network. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Kerns Family Cem and numerous church-affiliated grounds like the Old Enon Primitive Baptist Church Cem. The presence of several distinct springs and runs, such as Linnie Hiett Spring and Falling Spring Run, indicates a water-rich environment despite the steep elevations of Diamond Ridge and Pine Mountain. The map detail follows the transition from river valleys to high gaps, tracing a network of county routes and forest trails that connect these isolated mountain communities.
