About this map

The high plateau of the Allegheny Front dominates this 2019 survey, where the rugged topography of Tucker and Grant counties meets at the headwaters of the Stony River. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, featuring prominent landmarks such as Cabin Mtn and Snowy Point. The northeastern portion of the sheet is centered on the industrial utility of Mount Storm Lake, held by the Stony River Dam.

Transitioning westward, the terrain drops into the famous Canaan Valley, where the Little Blackwater River and Glade Run meander through high-altitude wetlands like Elder Swamp. This area reflects a modern balance of resource management and recreation, traced by historical paths and newer routes like the A-Frame Road Trail. From Cherry Ridge down to Beaver Cr, the map preserves the exact names of the ridges and runs that have shaped this pocket of West Virginia's highlands for generations.
