About this map

Kumbrabow State Forest and the Monongahela National Forest dominate this rugged section of West Virginia, where the terrain is defined by the steep elevation of Rich Mountain and Middle Fork Ridge. The remote settlement of Adolph sits along the Middle Fk River, while the eastern edge of the map follows the winding course of the Tygart Valley River.

Along the river valley, small rural communities like Elkwater and Lee Bell are visible, supported by spiritual and community hubs such as Pleasant Chapel, Valley Chapel, and the Catholic Rural Life and Retreat Center. Evidence of the region's extraction and outdoor heritage is found in the Strip Mine near Blue Rock Knob and the extensive network of trails, including the Whitman Trail and Raven Rocks Trail. The map also captures historical points of interest like Old Fort and the intersection at Spanoak Corners.
