2023 Map of Spruce Knob

About this map

Cherry Grove sits at the foot of the Allegheny Mountains, serving as a focal point for the headwaters of the North Fork South Branch Potomac River. This area of the Monongahela National Forest is defined by its high-altitude ridges and numerous drainage systems, including Seneca Creek and Gandy Creek. Local geography is marked by the presence of Spruce Knob Lake and Spruce Knob, while more secluded sites like Judy Spring and Spruce Mountain Spring indicate the region's diverse hydrography. The map details an intricate network of forest roads and hiking paths, such as the Huckleberry Trl and Lumberjack Trl, which navigate the terrain between Narrow Ridge and the Fore Knobs. Named hollows and ridges like Camp Seven Hollow and Leading Ridge provide specific landmarks for researchers of this highland landscape.
