About this map

The North River cuts through the ridges of the Appalachian Highlands in this 1970 survey, anchoring the small community of Rio at the southern edge of the map. This landscape is defined by the parallel elevations of Short Mountain, Stony Mountain, and Hunting Ridge, which dictate the placement of roads and early settlements. The presence of the Sherman Public Hunting Area along the central ridge highlights the transition toward conservation and public land management in West Virginia during this era.
