About this map

Mozer and Kline sit at the center of this Pendleton County landscape, where the ridges of the Appalachians dictate the path of every road and stream. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys, with Sweedlin Valley and Miles tucked between the massive rises of S Fork Mtn and Sweedlin Hill. The area is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, including the crossing at Greenawalt Gap and the steep slopes of Cave Mtn in the north.

Water serves as the primary surveyor here, from the South Fork South Branch Potomac River to smaller drainages like N Mill Cr, Kessner Run, and Shaver Run. This 2016 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure like Us Rte 220 still adheres to the natural corridors established by the terrain, connecting small communities while preserving large tracts of the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest.
