1967 Map of Blackbird Knob

About this map

Cabin Mountain and the high ridges of the Allegheny Front dominate this 1967 survey of the West Virginia highlands. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Red Creek watershed, including Glade Run, Alder Run, and Fisher Spring Run. This high-altitude plateau, much of which is protected within the Monongahela National Forest, shows a complex network of trails and jeep tracks leading to landmarks like Stack Rock, Bear Rocks, and the peak of Blackbird Knob. Along the eastern edge, the terrain drops sharply toward the Jordan Run valley, where several small Cem sites and a Quarry appear near the Tucker Co Grant Co line. These features suggest a history of high-country timbering or recreation, centered around the Red Creek Campground.
