About this map

The Tygart Valley River corridor defines the western edge of this landscape, where the historic settlements of Beverly and Hazelwood sit at the base of the mountains. Local genealogy is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Beverly Cem and Mount Iser Cem, reflecting the deep roots of families along the Beverly Pike. The terrain rises sharply to the east into the Monongahela National Forest, a wilderness dominated by Cheat Mountain and Shavers Mountain.

Transitioning from the valley floor to the high ridges, the map details a network of runs and ridges such as Elliott Ridge and Kyle Ridge. Significant transit points like Cheat Junction and Greenbrier Junction are noted on the eastern slopes, while the Lazy J Aerodrome provides a modern navigational landmark. The presence of Maxwell Ferry near Beulah points to the historical importance of river crossings in navigating this complex West Virginia topography.
