About this map

The Allegheny Front dominates this high-altitude landscape of eastern West Virginia, where the rugged topography of the Canaan Valley meets industrial development. The massive Mount Storm Lake and its associated Stony River Dam serve as central features, supporting a large Powerplant and Substation complex. The industrial character of the era is further evidenced by several Strip Mine operations and a Tipple located along the Western Maryland railroad corridor.

Beyond the industrial sites, the survey traces remote geography like Cabin Mountain and Brown Mountain, as well as the headwaters of the Blackwater River and Stony River. Small-scale human markers such as Camp Seventytwo and a Cem near the lake offer precise locations for genealogists and local historians tracking the sparse settlement patterns of Union and Davis districts during the late 1960s and early 1980s.
