About this map

The Monongahela National Forest dominates this section of the Allegheny Mountains, where the high ridges of the Yew Mountains and Kennison Mtn create a complex watershed. This terrain is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Williams River in the north and the Cranberry River in the south. The map illustrates a landscape of dense stream networks, with curiously named tributaries such as Hell for Certain Br and Tumbling Rock Run carving through the narrow valleys.

Boundary lines for Webster and Pocahontas Counties zigzag across the peaks, following the natural divides between the Middle Fork and North Fork systems. While the area lacks significant human settlements, the detailed hydrography reveals a wilderness structured by its waterways, including Houselog Run and McClintock Run. The presence of Twin Branches and Sugar Creek Mtn further emphasizes the remote, topographically driven character of this protected West Virginia highland.
