About this map

The Webster Co Pocahontas Co boundary cuts across this highland landscape, defined by the drainage basins of the Williams River and Cranberry River. This is a territory of high ridges and deep hollows, dominated by the Yew Mountains and the Kennison Mountains in the south. The complex hydrography includes curiously named features like Hell For Certain Branch and Bannock Shoals Run, illustrating the linguistic heritage of the central Appalachian interior. A dense network of primitive paths, including the North South Trl and Middle Fork Trl, provides the primary means of navigating the steep grades between Sugar Creek Mtn and the various forks of the river systems. The absence of modern roads highlights the secluded nature of this wilderness area at the headwaters of the North Fork Cranberry River.
