About this map

Shenandoah Mountain and the Sugar Grove Mountain range define the high-altitude landscape of this 1967 survey, where the border of West Virginia and Virginia follows the ridgeline. The area is dominated by the George Washington National Forest, with significant topographical markers like the Reddish Knob Lookout Tower and multiple scenic points including Stony Run Overlook and Heiliger Kanze Overlook.

Evidence of historical activity is found in isolated Mines along Hone Quarry Ridge and the network of primitive routes such as the Little Jeep Trail and Bother Ridge Trail. Water management and natural springs are central to the terrain, featuring Hearthstone Lake and the Sand Spring source. The map illustrates a landscape of deep hollows like Daggy Camp Hollow and prominent summits including Oak Knob and Pond Knob, showing the region's character before modern developments changed the character of these mountain passages.
