About this map

Monongahela National Forest lands dominate this part of the Appalachian plateau, where the headwaters of the Williams River and Cranberry River carve deep into the highland terrain. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley structure, featuring prominent elevations such as Kennison Mtn and the Yew Mountains along the southwestern border. This remote stretch of West Virginia is traversable primarily by a complex network of forest routes, including the North-South Trail and the Middle Fork Trail.

The hydrography of the region is notably intricate, with numerous named drainages such as Hell for Certain Br, Tumbling Rock Run, and Bannock Shoals Run feeding into the main river systems. These waterways and trails reflect a long history of forest management and backcountry access, providing a clear record of the geographic boundaries between Webster and Pocahontas counties as they follow the natural contours and heights of the land.
