2019 Map of Harman

About this map

Harman serves as the focal point of this highland survey, where the Dry Fork river carves through the central valley of the Monongahela National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep parallel ridges of Shavers Mtn and Rich Mtn, with smaller settlements like Sully and Jenningston established along the watercourses. This map reveals a complex network of springs and runs that supported high-altitude farming, including the Pershing Harman Farm Spring and George Tyson Farm Spring. For genealogists, the inclusion of remote burial sites such as Kerns Cem and White Cem provides critical location data for family history research in this part of Randolph County. The intersection of wilderness trails like the Shavers Mountain Trail with the sparse road network highlights the enduring isolation of these mountain hollows.
