Flo, I haven't seen your question answered on the list (been away and now playing catch-up). In case it hasn't, go to http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html. Just type in Capon as the feature name and choose WV as the state--leave the others blank--and "Send Query." You could try the same thing using Virginia. Since there is no specific place named Capon Valley, I believe the entire region encompassed by these hits was then referred to as Capon Valley, especially the area around Capon Bridge. Hope this helps. Elaine flodon@virginia.usa.com wrote: > ... where is Capon Valley? Is it in the proximity of the > town of Capon Bridge?

There is also Great CaCapon, WV., where there is a Pamoramic Over look that you can see Md., Pa., & WV mountains. Sidling Hill Mountain would be one of the Md. ones, but you can't see the Gap in the Mt. I would think that this Panoramic Over look would be in the Capon Chain of Mountains . You can get to Berkeley Springs this way. Becci Elaine D Tomkins wrote: > Flo, > > I haven't seen your question answered on the list (been away and now > playing catch-up).
