About this map

The Allegheny Mountains define this high-elevation borderland where the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest meet. This terrain is marked by a significant engineering footprint along its southern reaches, where a series of railroad tunnels, including Lewis Tunnel, Kelly Tunnel, Lake Tunnel, and Moore Tunnel, pierce the ridgelines to navigate the steep grades near Alleghany.

Waterways like Jerrys Run and Dunlap Creek carve through the deep hollows, providing the natural corridors used by Hoke Rd and various local routes. The presence of the Allegheny Trail and the Allegheny Tr - Marlin Mtn following the crests suggests a landscape primarily dedicated to timber, transit, and recreation. Prominent peaks such as Smith Knob and Hickory Knob overlook the tiny settlement of Wild Meadow and the surrounding ridgelines of Backbone and Panther Ridge.
