1969 Map of Upper Tract

About this map

North Fork Mountain and the South Branch Potomac River dominate this West Virginia landscape, which is largely encompassed by the Monongahela National Forest. The map documents a period of transition as the area was designated part of the Spruce Knob Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area. Near the western edge, the settlement of Seneca Rocks is visible, complete with the Seneca Rocks Sch and several cemeteries that speak to the long-standing community ties in this valley. Along the eastern slopes, Upper Tract serves as a small hub where Mill Run joins the river.
