About this map

The Monongahela National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the high Allegheny plateau, where the Williams River and Cranberry River carve deep drainages through a landscape defined by timber and drainage networks. The map details a wilderness area transitioning into a managed recreational resource, evidenced by the Tumbling Rock Camping Shelter and various trails like the Red Black Trail.

While largely uninhabited, the terrain is meticulously named with colorful local identifiers such as Hell for Certain Branch, Hateful Run, and Bannock Shoals Run. These hydrographic details, alongside the Little Levels region and heights like Kennison Mtn, reveal the intricate topographical character of the Webster and Pocahontas county line before modern development altered these remote watersheds. A single Drill Hole near the Cranberry River hints at subsurface exploration in an otherwise primitive forest setting.
