2011 Map of Ridge

About this map

Cacapon Mountain High Point anchors the western ridge of this terrain, where the landscape is defined by the narrow, parallel valleys of Sleepy Creek and its many tributaries. The area around Ridge serves as a local hub, featuring the Ridge State Fish Hatchery and proximity to Sink Pond Hollow. This 2011 survey captures the distribution of rural life along historic corridors like the Morgan Frederick Grade and the Cumberland Trail Rd, illustrating how settlements like Hinckle and Unger remained tied to these winding mountain passages. Local history is preserved at the Union Cemetery near the northern boundary and Salem Cemetery further south, while the Unger Post Office and Bloomery Post Office mark the enduring civic centers of these small communities. The presence of Camp Win-Wah and the numerous named ridges, such as Dick Ridge and Piney Ridge, underscores the region's character as a managed wilderness and agricultural woodland.
