1977 Map of Sharp Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sharp Knob and the surrounding Monongahela National Forest dominate this mid-1970s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by industrial extraction and high-altitude terrain. The presence of numerous Strip Mines and several mines throughout the Mingo Mountain and Edray Mountains ranges reflects the area's coal and timber focus. Resource transport is evidenced by the Western Maryland Railroad Grade and an Old Railroad Grade that snake through the valleys of Bergoo Creek and the Gauley River. Atop the peak, the Sharp Knob Lookout Tower serves as a primary landmark, overlooking the complex drainage systems of the North Fork Gauley River and South Fork Gauley River. The map also captures the tri-county boundary where Webster, Randolph, and Pocahontas counties meet near the Gauley River headwaters.
