2016 Map of Snyder Knob

About this map

The high ridges of Cheat Mtn and Back Allegheny Mtn dominate this 2016 survey of the Monongahela National Forest. Situated on the border of Randolph Co and Pocahontas Co, the terrain is defined by steep drainage basins and prominent summits. Shavers Fork winds through the center of the sheet, carving deep valleys such as Watertank Hollow and Greathouse Hollow. Local history is anchored by the Fort Milroy Cem in the northeast, a site linked to Civil War-era fortifications guarding the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike. The map detail highlights a network of forest roads and numerous watercourses like Becky Cr and Lambert Run, which historically supported the region's timber and railway industries. Landmarks such as Snyder Knob, Barton Knob, and Ward Knob offer a comprehensive view of the Appalachian topography as it remained in the early 21st century.
