About this map

Monongahela National Forest dominates this topographic survey, centered on the high ridges and deep river valleys of Tucker County. The Blackwater River carves a dramatic path through the landscape, flanked by Backbone Mountain and Canaan Mtn. The legacy of the region's industrial past is visible in the Blackwater Canyon Rail-Trail and various segments of Railroad Grade, which trace former timber and coal transport routes across Mozark Mountain and along the Dry Fork.

Small settlements such as Thomas, Hendricks, Elk, and Gladwin are situated along these waterways, reflecting a history of river-valley development. Backcountry researchers can locate specific points of interest like Kent Lambert Spring and Lester Flanagan Spring, or the high-altitude Table Rock landmark. Extensive trail networks, including the American Discovery Trail and the Allegheny Tr.: Marlin Mtn., connect the high peaks of McGowan Mtn and Shavers Mtn.
