About this map

Monongahela National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 2014 survey, where the Glady Fork and Dry Fork rivers carve deep valleys through the Allegheny Mountains. This region of West Virginia is characterized by its agricultural heritage, as evidenced by numerous named water sources such as the Jasper Yokum Farm Springs, Pershing Harman Farm Spring, and Herman Smith Spring. These labels provide a unique window into local land ownership and the importance of specific water rights in the Appalachian highlands.

Small settlements like Harman, Jenningston, and Wymer are connected by Us-33, tracing the contours of Shavers Mtn and Rich Mtn. For those documenting family history, Kerns Cem and White Cem offer precise locations for genealogical research. The map also captures distinctive topographic features such as Coon Bone Island and Beech Pen Ridge, reflecting a vernacular geography shaped by generations of farming and timbering.
