About this map

The high ridges of Point Mountain Rd divide the watersheds of Randolph and Webster counties in this detailed 2019 survey. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of the Back Fork Elk River and the Elk River, which converge near the settlement of Samp. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by a dense network of mountain runs, including Hull Camp Run, Rough Run, and Hickorylick Run, reflecting the complex drainage patterns of the Monongahela National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Cowger Cem situated near Valley Fork and trace the original footprints of small communities like Waneta and Samp. Notable landmarks such as Whitaker Falls and the prominent heights of Gauley Mtn, Back Fork Mtn, and Mast Knob provide essential context for understanding the historic isolation and road-building challenges of this section of the Alleghenies.
