About this map

Reddish Knob stands as a prominent high point along the Appalachian crest, anchoring a landscape defined by significant water management infrastructure and high-elevation viewpoints. The 2011 topography reveals a complex network of dams designed for flood control and water storage, including the Hone Quarry Dam and the Briery Branch Dam, which create the Hone Quarry Reservoir and Briery Branch Reservoir respectively. These engineered features are integrated into the drainage basins of the North Fork Little River and South Fork Little River.

Travelers and researchers can trace the winding paths of State Rte 25 and Hone Quarry RD as they navigate the ridges. High-altitude access is highlighted by several vistas, such as the Briery Branch Overlook and the Heiliger Kanzel Overlook. The map also details numerous family-named or descriptive landforms like Wolf Ridge, Bother Ridge, and Sand Spring Mountain, reflecting the area's long history of land use and geographic naming conventions.
