Huttonsville and Durbin serve as the primary anchors of this high-altitude landscape surveyed in the early 1920s, a period when the timber and rail economy dictated the settlement patterns of the Allegheny Mountain region. The Western Maryland RR snakes through the valleys, tracing the Shavers Fork and West Fork Greenbrier River, providing vital transport for isolated communities like the Burner Settlement. The historic route of the Staunton and Parkersburg Pike cuts across the center of the sheet, crossing the mountains at Cheat Bridge.
