About this map

Cheat Bridge serves as a primary crossing point in this high-altitude landscape where the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River carves through the heart of the Monongahela National Forest. The map documents a rugged transition between the high peaks of Cheat Mountain and Allegheny Mountain, dominated by the high-elevation knobs that define the horizon, including Barton Knob, Crouch Knob, and the namesake Snyder Knob.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible through several labeled Strip Mines and Strip Mine operations scattered along the ridgelines, particularly near Lambert Run. Genealogists and local historians will find the Fort Milroy Cem near the northern boundary, a small but significant landmark indicating the long human presence in this otherwise remote timber and coal territory near the junction of Mingo and Greenbank districts.
