1970 Map of Yellow Spring

About this map

Cooper Mountain and Capon Mountain dominate this landscape, creating a series of parallel valleys where the North River and Cacapon River flow. In the eastern valley, the settlement of Yellow Spring sits near Mc Kees Rocks and the Yellow Spring Gap. Evidence of former transportation infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade which parallels the Cacapon River through Intermont. Local genealogy is well-documented through several rural landmarks, including Hebron Ch, Green Mount Cem, and St James Cem. To the west, the Short Mountain Public Hunting Area and Warden Lake Public Fishing Area mark significant public lands near the Hampshire Co Hardy Co line, while the George Washington National Forest covers the southeastern corner.
