2014 Map of Glady

About this map

Shavers Fork and Glady Fork carve through this high mountain terrain within the Monongahela National Forest, defining a landscape of steep ridges and narrow hollows. The small settlements of Glady, Bemis, and Flint are positioned along the watercourses, reflecting the traditional rail and river orientation of Randolph County's mountain communities. Hikers following the Allegheny Trail traverse high elevations between Spruce Knob and Shavers Mtn, crossing numerous runs and creeks. The map identifies specific family-named water sources like Montoney Spring and William Harris Spring near Miller Hollow, providing valuable geographical markers for genealogists tracing ancestral land tracts in these Appalachian highlands. Elevation rises significantly toward the east at Rich Mtn and Panther Ridge, while the western edge is dominated by the deep drainage of the Shavers Fork valley.
