About this map

Blacks Chapel Cem sits on the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the borders of Webster, Nicholas, and Greenbrier counties converge within the Monongahela National Forest. The area is defined by a complex drainage system where the Williams River and Cranberry River carve through the plateau, fed by numerous tributaries like Jonathan Run and Big Laurel Cr. A network of trails, including the Cranberry Ridge Trail and Adkins Rockhouse Trail, provides access to the high ground at Bishop Knob and Mills Mtn. In the south, Summit Lake serves as a significant water feature near Pheasant Hollow, while landmarks like Hanging Rock and Snakeden Mtn highlight the deep-cut topography. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century where the landscape is largely dedicated to conservation and recreation, evidenced by the extensive trail systems and protected forest lands.
