1965 Map of Wardensville
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Wardensville serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated where Trout Run and Waites Run meet the north-flowing Cacapon River. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Sandy Ridge and Capon Mountain, which hem in the narrow river valleys. Within these corridors, the Reymann Memorial Farms West Virginia University and Clagett Farm represent the agricultural heritage of the region. A deeper history of industry and community is revealed through landmarks like the Old Iron Furnace in the south and small mountain churches including Crest Hill Ch and Marvin Chapel. The map provides excellent genealogical detail for the area, marking family-named sites such as Alum-Bank Cem and Wilson Cem. Much of the eastern and southern terrain is protected within the George Washington National Forest, where the Paddy Mountain Trail traverses the high ground above Vances Cove.
