About this map

Monongahela National Forest dominates this highland landscape, revealing a remote wilderness defined by the complex drainage of the Williams River. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Glade Mountain and Sugar Creek Mountain, where high-altitude ridges separate deep-cut stream valleys. The human footprint is sparse, represented by small backcountry features like the Tumbling Rock Camping Shelter and a solitary Drill Hole in the southern reaches. The map captures a transition between the elevated summits and the Little Levels plateau, with colorful local toponyms like Hell For Certain Branch and Hateful Run hinting at the challenging navigation of these woods in the late 1960s. Surveyed originally in 1966, the data provides a detailed record of the forest before subsequent decades of growth and conservation changed the undergrowth and access trails.
