About this map

Monongahela National Forest dominates this section of the Allegheny Mountains, where the border between Pocahontas Co and Greenbrier Co follows high ridges and creek beds. The landscape is defined by parallel mountain chains, including Middle Mountain and Beaver Lick Mountain, which channel numerous tributaries toward the Middle Fork Anthonys Creek. Small-scale human markers are clustered in the narrow valleys, such as the settlement of Trainer and the quiet May Chapel Church Cem.

The southeastern corner features Lake Sherwood, a significant water body created by the damming of Meadow Creek. To the northwest, Watoga Lake provides a similar focal point for recreation. Extensive trail systems like the Allegheny Tr - Marlin Mtn Trl and Middle Mountain Trail #608 Trl trace the rugged topography, reflecting the transition from early resource extraction to a protected wilderness and conservation area.
