1995 Map of Webster Springs SE

About this map

The Monongahela National Forest dominates this landscape, where the Williams River and Cranberry River carve deep drainages through Pocahontas and Webster Counties. This 1990s record of the high Alleghenies emphasizes the protected solitude of the Cranberry Wilderness, a primitive area defined by its lack of roads and its dense network of footpaths like the North South Trail and Middle Fork Trail. Elevations shift from the high summits of Glade Mountain and Sugar Creek Mountain down to the distinct terrain of the Little Levels and the Edray District. Notable local watercourse names, such as Hell for Certain Branch and Bannock Shoals, reflect the region's cultural geography and the difficulty of its river-bottom travel. The map serves as a vital guide for tracing the historic backcountry boundaries between counties and districts in this high-altitude wilderness.
