About this map

Monongahela National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the high mountain terrain on the border of Webster and Pocahontas Counties. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Glade Mountain and Sugar Creek Mountain, where a complex network of drainages feeds into the Williams River and Cranberry River. The area is notably devoid of permanent settlements, showing instead a wilderness characterized by specialized nomenclature like the evocative Hell For Certain Branch and Bannock Shoals Run.

Human activity is represented by backcountry access points, such as the Tumbling Rock Camping Shelter and various unnamed trails winding through the deep valleys of Birchlog Run and Housetop Run. The map preserves the exact boundaries of the Edray district and the rugged high-country plateau of Little Levells, providing a record of the region before modern recreational development reshaped forest access.
