2019 Map of Yellow Spring

About this map

The Cacapon River and its western tributary, the North River, carve through the eastern ridges of the Allegheny Mountains in this 2019 survey of the West Virginia backcountry. This landscape is defined by long, parallel ridges like Baker Mtn and Dillons Mtn, with narrow valleys that support small communities and family farmsteads. Local history is anchored by several rural churchyards and burial grounds, including the Hebron Lutheran Church Cem and Saint James Cem. In the village of Yellow Spring, the natural landmark of Yellow Spring Gap provides a passage through the high terrain, while the Kenneth Seldon Bridge spans the river near Davis Ford. The southern portion of the map includes a section of the George Washington National Forest and follows the Tuscarora Trail as it winds along the ridge tops toward Warden Lake. Small settlements like Sedan, Millbrook, and Intermont mark the intersections of these mountain corridors.
