About this map

Cheat Mountain and the high ridges of the Monongahela National Forest dominate this landscape along the border of Randolph and Pocahontas counties. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes and deep drainages, most notably the winding path of Shavers Fork and its numerous tributaries like Fish Hatchery Run and Beaver Creek. A point of specific historical interest is found in the northeast corner at the Fort Milroy Cem, a small burial ground situated near the mountain peaks.

The map reveals a network of high-altitude summits including Snyder Knob, Barton Knob, and Crouch Knob, alongside hollows such as Watertank Hollow and Greathouse Hollow. This modern survey details the contemporary forest management and wilderness character of the Back Allegheny Mountain region, documenting the hydrological patterns of Becky Creek and Wamsley Run as they carve through the West Virginia highlands.
