About this map

Paddy Knob stands as a prominent landmark on the high border between West Virginia and Virginia, anchoring a landscape defined by the intersection of the Monongahela National Forest and the George Washington National Forest. The 1990s terrain reveals a complex network of ridges, including Gregory Ridge and Sheep Ridge, which divide numerous watercourses like Knapp Creek and Sitlington Creek. This era shows the continued significance of high-country recreation and timber management within the Huntersville District.

Family history and local heritage are etched into the map through numerous small burial sites such as Buzzard Cem, Shinaberry Cem, and Lindsay Cem. These sites, along with Wesley Chapel and the small settlement of Frost, mark the enduring footprints of rural communities in these highlands. The presence of the Paddy Campground and various trails reflects the area's transition toward forest-based recreation while maintaining its traditional identity through long-established landmarks like Slate Lick Knob.
