2011 Map of Levels

About this map

The Little Cacapon River and South Branch Potomac River carve through this section of Hampshire County, defining a landscape of sharp ridges and narrow hollows. In the northern reaches, the community of Levels sits near the headwaters of Stony Run, while the village of Points serves as a central hub further south, marked by the Points Post Office. The terrain is characterized by named elevations like Bird Ridge and Town Hill, which forced a winding network of roads such as Springfield Grade Rd and Jersey Mountain Rd to follow the natural contours of the land rather than a strict grid. Near the confluence of several mountain streams, Creekvale and Higginsville represent small, rural clusters of settlement that have persisted along the riverbanks. This map reveals a late-twentieth-century rural economy where recreation and agriculture meet, evidenced by the Ferndale Farms Recreation Lake Dam and the crossing at Blue Ford.
