1974 Map of Snyder Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The high ridges of the Monongahela National Forest dominate this terrain, where the headwaters of the Shavers Fork carve through the Allegheny Front. The map documents an area defined by its verticality and resource extraction, with several Strip Mines and a Mine located near the summit of Barton Knob. Significant historical interest is found at the Fort Milroy Cem and the nearby Cheat Bridge, marking a critical pass through the mountains. Civil infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by a Lookout Tower and a network of primitive Jeep Trails that navigate the slopes of Huttonsville Mountain and Allegheny Mountain. The boundary between Randolph and Pocahontas Counties follows the high ground, illustrating how natural topography dictated local political lines during this mid-1970s survey.
