2022 Map of Reddish Knob

About this map

Shenandoah Mountain forms the centerpiece of this high-elevation survey, marking the political boundary between Virginia and West Virginia. This terrain, preserved within the George Washington National Forest, is defined by a dense network of water systems including Little River, Hone Quarry Run, and Skidmore Fork. The map documents a landscape of dramatic verticality, from the namesake peak at Reddish Knob to the deep contours of Dunkard Ridge and California Ridge. Managed water features such as Hone Quarry Reservoir and Hearthstone Lake punctuate the drainage basins. Long-established travel routes like Briery Branch Road and the Timber Ridge Trail follow the natural geography of the ridges, illustrating how the area's crests and gaps have dictated movement through the mountain passes for generations.
