About this map

Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest meet along the high ridges of the Allegheny Mountains in this 2019 survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp divide of the West Virginia and Virginia state line, where the North Fork South Branch Potomac River flows through a narrow corridor between Big Mtn and River Hill. This region is characterized by isolated settlements like Hardscrabble and the high-elevation pastures of Bluegrass Valley.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Blue Grass Cem near the southern map boundary, while those tracing old agricultural patterns will find family-named landmarks such as Hendrick Farm Spring and Leonard Spring Hollow. The intricate network of waterways, including Straight Fork and Cold Spring Run, highlights the complex drainage system of the mountain hollows and the enduring importance of springs in this remote upland terrain.
