2016 Map of Cass

About this map

Cass and the surrounding high-country terrain of the Monongahela National Forest are defined by the sharp verticality of the Back Allegheny Mtn and Cheat Mtn ridges. This 2016 survey documents a landscape where traditional settlements like Wanless and Nida sit alongside modern recreation paths such as the Allegheny Trail. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the map identifies small burial grounds including Hilltop Cem and Wanless Cem, as well as named drainages like Shavers Fork and the Greenbrier River. High points such as Bald Knob and Thorny Flat dominate the topography, while the boundary between Randolph and Pocahontas counties cuts across the northwestern peaks, marking the divide between the Tygart Valley River and the Greenbrier River watersheds.
