1977 Map of Lake Sherwood

About this map

Anthony Creek carves a deep valley through the heart of the Monongahela National Forest, dividing the high ridges of Middle Mountain and Huntersville Mountain. This 1970s landscape is defined by its conservation and recreational uses, featuring the extensive boundaries of Watoga State Park and Calvin Price State Forest. In the southern reaches, Lake Sherwood serves as a primary focal point, surrounded by campgrounds and utility features like a sewage disposal site and landing strip. Traces of earlier community life persist in the mountains, including the Columbia Sulphur Springs area and remote mountain landmarks like Beaver Creek Ch and May Chapel. The map reveals a network of backcountry access points, from the Buck and Doe Path to specialized areas such as the Beaver Restricted Area.
