About this map

The high ridges and river headwaters of Monongahela National Forest dominate this landscape on the boundary of Randolph and Pocahontas counties. Small settlements like Mingo, Linwood, and Mace follow the valley floor of the Tygart Valley River, which flows north toward the Ohio River basin. In contrast, the Elk River and Big Spring Fork drain the southern and western slopes, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Allegheny Mountains.

Evidence of local heritage is found at the Varner Cem and along historical routes like the Indian Trl. The geography is defined by prominent peaks, including Cheat Mtn and Mace Knob, while names such as Mingo Flats and Walnut suggest the traditional agricultural and timber patterns of the region. Local springs such as Helen V Hannah Spring and Colonel Samuel B Marshall Spring are precisely located, providing valuable data for those studying family land tracts or natural water sources in this part of West Virginia.
