2014 Map of Sinks of Gandy

About this map

The Monongahela National Forest dominates this highland landscape, where the headwaters of several major river systems begin their descent. Central to the map is the Sinks of Gandy, a notable subterranean passage of Gandy Cr that has long drawn interest for its unique hydrology. The settlement of Osceola sits near the northern boundary, serving as a point of reference in an area defined by high ridges and deep drainages. Multiple county lines, including the junction of Pocahontas and Randolph and Pocahontas and Pendleton, traverse the high peaks. The terrain is a complex network of named knobs and mountains, such as Burner Mtn, Yokum Knob, and Little Beech Mtn, which separate the various forks of the Dry Fork, Laurel Fork, and the E Fork Greenbrier River.
