About this map

Bismarck and the high ridges of the Allegheny Front define this corner of Grant County, where the landscape transitions from the waters of Mount Storm Lake to the dramatic passage of Greenland Gap. This modern survey traces a network of rural settlements, including Scherr and Greenland, which are connected by historic mountain routes and the American Discovery Trail. Local history is preserved in the locations of the Brick Church and the Reel School, while industrial landmarks like the Stony River Dam indicate the management of the region's water resources.

The terrain is marked by prominent ridges such as New Creek Mtn and Knobly Mtn, which frame the various forks of N Fork Patterson Cr. This area illustrates a traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where small communities and family farms are situated in the valleys and gaps, while the surrounding knobs, such as Fore Knobs and Pigeonroost, remain dominated by the natural topography of the eastern panhandle.
