1967 Map of Blackbird Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Davis Mountain and the prominent Allegheny Front define this high-altitude portion of the Monongahela National Forest in the late 1960s. The landscape is characterized by the upland plains of Dolly Sods, where the headwaters of Red Creek and Glade Run originate. This period of the mid-20th century shows the area's transition into a protected recreational landscape, marked by the Dolly Sods Wilderness and the Red Creek Campground. Evidence of earlier resource extraction remains visible through scattered drill holes and a quarry near the Stony River Reservoir. The eastern edge of the quadrangle drops sharply off the front into the Union district, where a few small cemeteries and rural homesites line Jordan Run and Broad Run, contrasting the uninhabited mountain plateaus to the west.
