About this map

The Allegheny Mountains define the high-elevation terrain along the interstate border between Virginia and West Virginia. This 2019 survey of the Alleghany vicinity highlights the significant engineering required to traverse these ridges, most notably the series of subterranean rail passages including Lewis Tunnel, Moore Tunnel, Lake Tunnel, and Kelly Tunnel. The landscape is a mix of public lands, divided between the Monongahela National Forest and the George Washington National Forest.

Surface travel relies on the Allegheny Trail, which winds past high points like Hickory Knob and Batick Mtn. Waterways such as Jerrys Run and Dunlap Creek drain the hollows, while the boundary between Greenbrier and Alleghany counties follows the crest of the divide. The presence of settlements like Wild Meadow near the headwaters of Fleming Run reflects the sparse, localized development characteristic of this mountain pass region.
