About this map

Cheat Mtn and Back Allegheny Mtn dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Monongahela National Forest. The 2014 survey documents a rugged corridor where the Randolph and Pocahontas county line follows the winding course of Shavers Fork. Named peaks like Snyder Knob, Barton Knob, and Crouch Knob define the ridgelines, which are carved by numerous drainage systems including Lambert Run and Becky Cr.

Evidence of human presence and historical infrastructure is concentrated along the northeastern margins. Near the small settlement of White Top, researchers can locate the Ft Milroy Cem, a significant marker of local heritage. The terrain also contains functional historical labels like Watertank Hollow, hinting at the steam-era water requirements of the railway lines that once navigated these steep mountain passes. The map provides an exceptionally clear view of the complex hydrology of the high Alleghenies, tracing First Fork and Beaver Cr through the dense forest.
