About this map

Blue Knob dominates this highland landscape, standing as a prominent peak within the surrounding Blue Knob State Park. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of ridges and runs, including Hog Back Ridge, Wolf Hollow, and Bobs Creek. Settlement is concentrated in small communities like Pavia, Fredericksburg, and Klahr, which are connected by winding mountain roads such as Blue Knob State Park Road and State Forest Highway.

Genealogical and historical interest points are scattered throughout these hills, notably the Stiefler Cemetery near Stiefler Corner and the tragic local landmark of the Lost Cox Children Monument tucked away near Bobs Creek. The presence of the Blue Knob Fire Tower and the Blue Knob Recreation Area highlights the mid-20th-century transition of this area from a working forest and small-farm economy toward recreational and conservation land use.
