2014 Map of Levels

About this map

Levels and Points serve as central nodes for this Hampshire County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense series of ridges and hollows carved by the Little Cacapon River. In the early 21st century, the area remains a mix of agricultural heritage and recreation, as seen at Ferndale Farms Recreation Lake and numerous family farms like Foxwalk Farm Rd. The map illustrates a high degree of continuity in local history, with small settlements like Higginsville and Creekvale anchored by community landmarks. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Church of the Brethren Cem and the Little Cacapon Primitive Baptist Church Cem, which sit atop the rolling uplands of Bird Ridge and Queens Ridge. The northern boundary is marked by the winding course of the South Branch Potomac River, providing a natural divide against the rising elevations of River Mtn.
