Cheat Mountain dominates the center of this terrain, where the high-altitude headwaters of the Shavers Fork and Tygart Valley River carve through the Monongahela National Forest. In the western valley, the settlement of Beverly and nearby Hazelwood sit along the riverbanks, serving as a gateway to the steep ridges of Limekiln Ridge and Millstone Ridge. This map captures a landscape defined by its rail history and logging heritage, marked by remote points like Elk River Junction and Cheat Junction deep within the forest interior. Cultural landmarks such as Camp Pioneer and the Mt Carmel Ch highlight the community clusters near Files Creek, while the Allegheny Trail provides a continuous thread through the high ridges of the Cheat Mountain National Forest. The presence of several distinct water features, including the High Falls and Scott Lake, illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Allegheny Highlands.
