About this map

Monongahela National Forest land dominates this 2016 study of the high ridges and deep river valleys where Webster, Nicholas, and Greenbrier counties meet. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Williams River and the Cranberry River, which cut through a series of prominent peaks including Mills Mtn, Bishop Knob, and Red Oak Knob. A significant point of local interest is the Blacks Chapel Cem located in the northwest corner, providing a genealogical anchor for the surrounding highlands.

Outdoor recreation and forest access are well-documented through a network of named routes such as the Pocahontas Trail, Cranberry Ridge Trail, and the Summit Lake Trail circling Summit Lake in the south. The area’s geography is further detailed with descriptive landmarks like Hanging Rock, Snakeden Mtn, and Goose Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected topography that has shaped settlement patterns and transport since the early days of these Appalachian timberlands.
