2016 Map of Mount Storm Lake

About this map

Mount Storm Lake and the Stony River Reservoir dominate the eastern reaches of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of the Stony River carve through the high ridges of the Potomac Highlands. The terrain is defined by dramatic escarpments and wetlands, including the expansive Canaan Valley in the southwest and the biological diversity of Elder Swamp. Surveyed in the mid-2010s, the map illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Little Blackwater River and Buffalo Cr as they navigate around prominent features like Cabin Mtn and Snowy Point. The descent from the Allegheny Front is traced by various backcountry routes such as A-Frame Road Trail and Co Rte 90/1, which connect the scattered ridges including Timberman Ridge and Red Brush Ridge.
