About this map

Glace and Pedro are the primary settlements in this section of the Allegheny Mountains, situated along the winding border of West Virginia and Virginia. The landscape is defined by high ridges and narrow hollows, with much of the eastern portion preserved within the George Washington National Forest. Evidence of rural community life is seen in the Dowdy Cem and Catholic Cem, while the rugged terrain is marked by descriptive labels like Grindstone Ridge and Dynamite Hollow.

Hydrography is a significant feature of this quadrangle, anchored by Moncove Lake in the southwest. A network of small waterways, including Cove Cr, Tuckahoe Run, and the Cove Creek Spring, drain the mountain slopes. The presence of numerous trails such as the Black Bear Trail and the Holsapple Trail (Closed) suggests a landscape transitioning from resource extraction and local transport toward recreational use within the national forest system.
