2019 Map of West Augusta

About this map

West Augusta serves as the primary settlement hub within this high-elevation landscape along the border of Augusta and Highland Counties. Much of the terrain is defined by the George Washington National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of Ramseys Draft and the Calfpasture River have carved deep ridges and drafts. For genealogists, the West Augusta Cem is a notable landmark near the junction of Deerfield Valley Rd and State Rte 715. The map illustrates a landscape transitioned largely to conservation and recreation, evidenced by the extensive network of the Wild Oak Trail and numerous named hollows like Georgia Camp Hollow and Freezland Hollow. Prominent peaks such as Hardscrabble Knob and The Pinnacle anchor the ridgelines, while small bodies of water like Braley Pond and Stark Pond punctuate the heavily forested draws.
